What's ahead for real estate in 2023?

Since the real estate market shifted last year (late spring/early summer in our market), there has been no shortage of speculation as to what the year ahead will bring with mortgage rates, inventory, sales, and of course, prices.

It's hard to pick favorites when I get to list so many fantastic homes, but let's just say that when my clients told me they were going to be selling this one, I honestly spent 48 hours deliberating whether my husband and I should sell our home -- which we love, by the way -- and buy this one. It's truly that special. Alas, the timing was not right for us, which I know will make someone else extremely happy... View full photo gallery & 3D tour here Post-and-beam home in Inman
