ORTEGA FOREST: YEAR END REAL ESTATE REPORT 2024

ORTEGA FOREST REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE 2024

n 2024, we survived two major hurricanes, the presidential election, and extended 7-percent interest rates. 2024 was the first year that control of the market started to shift to home buyers. Buyers had the upper hand in negotiations as home sat on the market and sellers’ desperation grew. The realization that interest rates would not fall caused more potential buyers to stay put and make their current home (and 2.5% mortgage rate) work. As the pool of home buyers decreased, numerous real estate markets grew to 6 months or more of available inventory. These current trends are expected to continue into 2025.
