Though price spikes will not be as dramatic in 2022 as in 2020 and 2021, the imbalance of high demand and low supply will likely keep prices competitive as buyers seek to secure low mortgage rates.

Price Growth Seen as Competitive in 2022 though Less Robust as 2021

Secondary cities in smaller, more affordable areas have been favored by younger and remote workers for a while now.  Jeff Tucker, Senior Economist with Zillow, sees these preferences continuing into this new year.

Tucker said, “…the best predictor of upcoming price appreciation is the most recent few months of price appreciation.”  Using a model combining historic price levels, current market values and housing supply, Zillow forecast year-over-year home price growth by May 2022.
