Having an experienced guide coaching you through the process of buying or selling a home is important in a normal market – but today’s market is far from normal.

Many analysts projected home price appreciation would slow dramatically in the fall of 2021 and then continue to soften throughout 2022.

• If you’re ready to move, work with a trusted real agent to understand your local area and take advantage of today’s unprecedented housing market.
