Today, we're going to talk about interest rates and what we expect to see them do in 2015.

Most analysts predict interest rates to rise at some point next year. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the National Association of Realtors expect the economy to remain strong, as more people are expected to be employed and have more income to buy homes. 

If interest rates rise to around 5%, or a little higher, it will decrease the appreciation in 2015 from 5% to around 2.5%. However, we'll still have strong sales, as more homes will be in the market. 

This is just a brief update on trends we're expecting to see. If you would like a more in-depth analysis of market conditions, don't hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. I would be pleased to assist you!
