If you look at this, a couple of things stand out. First of all, 2021 was an incredible year for the housing market. We actually hit a 15-year high in existing home sales.

The media talks about how the market is crashing or the boom is over, when in fact, we're just heading back to where we were before the health crisis. Don't forget those were extremely strong years for real estate. 

It’s important to keep yourself educated on topics like this, so you feel as confident as possible when you're ready to buy or sell a home.
