What Everyone Wants To Know: Will Home Prices Decline in 2022?

December 15, 2021 by Mike Stott

If you’re thinking of buying a home in today’s housing market, you may be wondering how strong your investment will be. You might be asking yourself: if I buy a home now, will it lose value? Or will it continue to appreciate going forward? The good news is, according to the experts, home prices are not projected to decline. Here’s why.

With buyers still outweighing sellers, home prices are forecast to continue climbing in 2022, just at a slower or more moderate pace. Why the continued increase? It’s the simple law of supply and demand. When there are fewer items on the market than there are buyers, the competition for that item makes prices naturally rise.

And while the number of homes for sale today is expected to improve with more sellers getting ready to list their houses this winter, we’re certainly not out of the inventory woods yet. Thus, the projections show continued appreciation, but at a more moderate rate than what we’ve seen over the past year.

Here’s a look at the latest 2022 expert forecasts on home price appreciation:

What’s the biggest takeaway from this graph? None of the major experts are projecting depreciation in 2022. They’re all showing an increase in home prices next year.

And here’s what some of the industry’s experts say about how that will play out in the housing market next year:

Brad Hunter of Hunter Housing Economics explains:

“. . . the recent unsustainable rate of home price appreciation will slow sharply. . . . home prices will not decline. . . but they will simply rise at a more sustainable pace.”

Danielle Hale from realtor.com agrees:

“Price growth is expected to move back toward a normal range, but this is on top of recent high prices, . . . So prices will [still] hit new highs. . . . The pace of price growth is going to slow notably . . . ”

What Does This Mean for the Housing Market?

While home price appreciation is expected to continue, it isn’t projected to be the record-breaking 18 to almost 20% increase the market saw over the past 12 months. Overall, it’s important to note that price increases won’t be as monumental as they were in 2021 – but they certainly won’t decline anytime soon.

What Does That Mean for You?

With motivated buyers in the market and so few homes available to purchase, the imbalance of supply and demand will continue to put upward pressure on home prices in 2022. And when home price appreciation is in the forecast, that’s a clear indication your investment in homeownership is a sound one.

Bottom Line

It’s important to know that home prices are not projected to decline in the new year. Instead, they’re forecast to rise, just at more moderate pace. Let’s connect to make sure you’re up to date on what’s happening with home price appreciation in our market, so you can make an informed decision about your next move.

“You can invest in the best markets in the country but if you don’t have a great management team looking after your investments you can still lose money. That is why I stick with Northwest Atlanta Properties. I tell people it is like buying a mutual fund. You buy a property and the fund manager does the rest. If he does a good job you buy more. That is why I am buying more.”

“My Wife and I became first time home owners in Sept. Northwest Atlanta Properties guided us every step of the way. They introduced us to several lenders, Home inspectors, and Appraisers. They were always concerned with what we thought and our preferences. We went out One Saturday and saw 6 listings. We put in an offer on the one we liked and Got it!!! They stepped in and made negotiations easy as well as prepped us for the eventualities we faced. They should change their slogan to “One and Done” We will never use anyone else.”

“This family-owned business was a joy to work with! They listed to exactly what we wanted and put our priorities above their profit margins. I never felt pressured to go into a higher price point then we were comfortable with. They showed us several homes in the areas we were considering and worked with us every step of the way. We were new to the state so relied on their expertise to find us the perfect community for raising our children. I was in constant contact with Donna, Mike, & Josh who never made me feel like I was bothering them. Their many years of expertise made me feel safe and confident while looking for our home. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!”
