There has been a slight increase in the number of listings, but the number is still lower than what is needed. Bidding wars still occur, but are happening at somewhat lower prices than before. Increasing mortgage rates are impacting buyer’s budgets. Last year, a 30-year, fixed mortgage was 2.9%. Last week the average was 5.7%. That adds more than $300 to monthly mortgage payments.
