Mortgage Rates
Projections from the experts at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac all forecast mortgage rates remaining stable throughout 2020:

- 1980s: 12.70%

- 2000s: 6.29%

Home Prices
Below are the projections from six different expert entities that look closely at home values and home prices: CoreLogic, Fannie Mae, Ivy Zelman’s “Z Report”, the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Freddie Mac, and the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).
Is a Recession Possible?
In early 2019, a large percentage of economists began predicting a recession may occur in 2020. 50% of home purchasers who were surveyed agreed it would occur this year. The economy, however, remained strong in the fourth quarter, and that has caused many to rethink the possibility.
Red Door Real Estate’s Final Take:
With mortgage rates projected to remain under 4%, a growing demand and a limited supply of inventory- prices will continue to appreciate. The threat of an impending recession seems to be softening. It looks like 2020 may be a solid year for the real estate market. If you want to buy or sell- do it NOW!
