MARCH 2024 – NORTH TEXAS HOME MARKET UPDATE

Despite still-elevated interest rates, the sale trends in 2024 are currently repeating the traditional “Spring-Summer” price fluctuation of the previous year. The best times to sell at the highest profit this year is likely going to be MAY due to potentially unpredictable impact of the Realtor commission lawsuit that is guaranteed to add more chaos and uncertainty to the already-unsettled current home market, not to mention the potential national and international Black Swan events that may appear closer to the conclusion of the Election Campaign this year. The best time to buy the house in 2024 will be April-May, due to the same lawsuit and the same potential issues that the election environment might bring unexpectedly.
