2022 marked a decisive break from rising house prices for most of the past two decades, especially the dramatic escalation from mid-2020 through 2021. Yet, the 2022 correction in housing markets and the vulnerability to further pressures in 2023 still left house prices at lofty levels, albeit notably less than their February 2022 peak.
Assessing the drivers of housing demand and supply is a complex task as diverse factors shape housing prices and sales. This webinar will examine the near-term outlook for housing and its medium and long-term trends. Key questions that it will address include:
What is the stage of the correction in house prices and sales?
