A question of affordability. Inflation, supply, and interest rates could squeeze the housing market in 2022.

What a rollercoaster 2020 has been. The year started strong, crashed to a halt in the second quarter and then bounced like a ball into the third quarter. Since then, record after record has been set. It has been a great market for sellers, but has been tough on buyers and their REALTORS®. Is there an end in sight?

As I have written in this space many times, change is constant. Paradigms shift, new players come into the market, technology changes the way we do things. Real Estate seems particularly affected by this these days. The number of companies portraying themselves as “dis- ruptors” to the real estate industry have been multiplying at what seems like an exponential rate.
