In Anchorage homes for sale the inventory stayed low keeping demand high and prices followed. The last 5 years shows condominiums appreciating by over 1%, while residential homes appreciated by 12%.Realtor.org published an article that may affect the Anchorage real estate market at some point in time;
Economists who spoke to the National Association of Real Estate Editors last week project that an increase in rates to 5 percent could lead to a 5 percent decline in existing home sales, and a rise to 6 percent would hamper sales by 15 percent.
“We’ve locked all of these people into these low rates, mostly in 30-year fixed mortgages,” says Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. “There’s a huge disincentive … to sell at any point in the future. My expectation is that housing turnover rates will be down significantly in the future due to this rate lockout effect.”
For home owners who do eventually decide to move on, they may want to hold onto their current home and rent it out to keep their low interest rate, some economists say.
“We have more everyday folks becoming unplanned, accidental landlords in the future because they don’t want to give up their 3.5 percent rate,” says Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of REALTORS®.
