Top Agent Insights for Summer 2022

HomeLight’s quarterly report compiles the findings of a survey of roughly 1,000 top real estate agents nationwide. The results indicate that despite higher mortgage rates, a seller’s market is still in effect. Trends also point to the effects economic inflation is having on renters, homeowners, and first-time homebuyers, and how it’s triggering untraditional home purchases in remote locations.
