As 2023 begins, we find ourselves looking ahead to the future. What opportunities will this new year hold? How should investors adjust their strategies, if at all? The uncertainty of it all can be unnerving, particularly for inexperienced investors who may not have taken an active part in the real estate market at each stage.

2023 is likely to bring a real estate market shakeup. While our strategies will pivot, our ultimate goals will not – real estate is and has always been the best way to generate lasting, reliable wealth. Looking back at market statistics from the last year isn’t to say that things will continue along the same path – only that the market is always changing and always exists in a particular context.

If you’ve been paying attention to the real estate market news cycle, you’ve seen that the experts are finally seeing a turn in the market. For the past several months, correction efforts from the feds have seemed largely ineffective in bringing down the housing market’s fever.

Investors are no doubt feeling the economic pressures of inflation, rising interest rates, and a challenging housing market. Of course, with rental rates also on the rise, it can offset some of the squeeze on your profit margins.

The housing market slowdown is on its way. Both rising interest rates (topping 5% for a 30-year-fixed rate) and inflation have Americans thinking twice about buying a home, especially for the first time.

Some of the newest real estate markets in our repertoire at REI Nation are in the great state of Alabama: Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Huntsville.

On the cusp of the summer home-buying season, it’s becoming more and more evident that the housing shortage poses a problem for the average buyer. In fact, there’s a shortage of some 5 million homes across the nation. 

Although increasing mortgage interest rates have begun to cool the costs of the real estate market, buyers and homeowners are finding themselves going to extremes to keep costs in check.
