The residential real estate remains strong going into 2023!

    But even though mortgage rates and home prices are expected to moderate, home sales may still sag under persistent inventory shortages, housing economists predict.

This is great news for Bay and Gulf County homeowners! As you can view in the Florida Association of Realtors yearly market chart below, traditional 3-bedroom+/2-bedroom single-family-home prices continue to rise year over year! Your home’s net worth grew 18.5% in 2022, 17.2% in 2021, and 10.9% in 2020! More than a speculative overheating of the market, these increases represent adjustments after the depressed times following the bubble of 2005. The market is now back to normal! Home ownership remains a great investment option, especially in inflationary times!
