This leveling out of the interest rates makes it possible for the mortgages to be more affordable through the borrowing and stimulation of the housing demand.

2. Economic Indicators

The recovery of the economy may come with some moderate growth in real estate sales because of the improved affordability and growing demand. The real estate market is shaped by various factors like employment, inflation, and GDP rates. To attain healthy housing and healthy market conditions, a strong economy’s support is mandatory through boosting consumer confidence and purchasing power. Downturns in the economy may impact the housing demand negatively and lead to cautious consumer behavior.

4. Government policies and regulations

A lookout in the government policies may be mandatory, for a slight change in housing or taxation policies may lead to significant implications in the real estate sector. They can either benefit or have a negative impact on the market, that also depends on their impact on affordability and market liquidity.

5. Regional Variations

Trends in the real estate markets vary in different areas. For example cities may be able to attract buyers which can then drive up the market in urban areas in terms of the demand and prices. There are different factors that may affect and influence the housing demand and supply, like the job markets and demographic shifts, also the developments in infrastructure. It is advisable to monitor these factors to understand how different markets may perform towards the end of the year.
