"2024: A Pivotal Year for the Housing Market"

The US housing market is expected to experience a "pivot year" in 2024, with a surge in demand driven by lower mortgage rates and a lack of inventory in the resale market. Builders are optimistic about the future, with increased buyer interest and rising confidence. Aggressive incentives, such as mortgage rate buydowns, are being offered to aid buyers, and a forecasted drop in mortgage rates is expected to further stimulate the market.
