"Its widely known that the inventory in Sea Isle remains at an all-time low, but there has been an interesting development in the $2.2 - $2.7M beach block inventory. In the early fall, 7 units to hit the market within these parameters. That was a significant surge in inventory for that segment of our market. Since then, 1 has sold, 4 have gone under contract and only 2 are currently for sale. This is a great sign for the health of our market!" -Dustin Laricks |

Last Year's Housing Market Was a Wild Ride...Here's What to Expect in 2022 |
|
The US housing market has had a white hot year. Home sales are on track to reach the highest level in 15 years, with an estimated 6 million homes sold in 2021. But whether you benefited from this surge depended a lot on if you were selling a home or buying one. Homeowners saw average home prices skyrocket nearly 20% through the third quarter compared to a year ago, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency. It was the largest annual home price increase in the history of the agency's House Price Index. And, in some hot markets, the price increase was double that. Without a doubt, the housing market was on a wild ride in 2021, and here's what to expect this year. |
