  • "However, affordability is becoming a bigger challenge, with mortgage rates above 7%, and will push more buyers out of the market."
  • Low inventory continues to drive price growth and there is no expectation of significant supply increases this year.
  • Supply will still be an obstacle to a balanced housing market, and home prices should remain stable in the region this year.
