There was just one rub. Most people who sell also want to buy. And homes were very expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some boomers who would normally be downsizing now, and putting their houses into the market, have not. They\u2019ve stayed put, waiting for somewhere to go that they can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First\u2013time buyers, many working remotely, had better options than ever before in 2021. Interest rates were enticingly low. But first-timers, too, ran into high prices and hectic bidding wars. The U.S. housing market saw its largest year-over-year rise in home prices in 45 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although buying was difficult, those who already own homes could benefit from the remarkable dip in interest rates, and many people did refinance their mortgages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As 2021 draws to an end, life in real estate is slowing down slightly. Bidding wars are tapering off. Yes, this could have to do with normal seasonal slowdowns. Yet real estate research suggests that 2022 won\u2019t be <em>quite <\/em>so hectic for buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand for homes will still be high, though \u2014 in 2022, and almost surely for the rest of this decade. What factors will keep driving the strong demand? Flexible work. The mobility that comes with it. The generational surge in first-time buyers. And reasonable mortgage rates. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As interest rates gradually go back up, hopeful buyers will have to work harder for their mortgages in 2022. Why are mortgage interest rates expected to rise? Economic growth, accompanied by the indirect effects of action taken by the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, analysts predict a gradual rise in mortgage rates, not an abrupt spike. We can expect the fixed-rate, 30-year mortgage rate to be around 3.25% in early 2022. It could then move to somewhere around 3.5%, on average, by summer, then appear somewhere between 3.7% and 4.25% by late 2022 \u2014 still historically low. Nevertheless, the upward interest rate pressure will exacerbate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/solving-the-affordability-problem\/\">housing affordability<\/a> crisis we followed at <em>Deeds.com <\/em>throughout 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And although home prices aren\u2019t expected to rise as fast as they did last year, they will increase to some extent in 2022 \u2014 especially in areas outside of the already sky-high markets like the San Francisco area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Real Estate Market Crash? Don\u2019t Expect It.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand for homes is high and supply isn\u2019t catching up any time soon. This is no recipe for a market crash. Indeed, the housing shortage is expected to be with us for the rest of the decade or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Builders and renovators are encountering supply chain interruptions that increase waiting times and the costs of materials. The worker shortages that have defined 2021 continue to create backlogs. The aggregated effects will cause supply to shrink even more in the months and years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, people who worry that buying now means buying into a bubble are probably overthinking their moves. It\u2019s usually best to do what fits the current stages of our lives, rather than to get too caught up in the stages of the real estate market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we get ready to ring in 2022, low mortgage rates are still on the buyer\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Hot? Great Amenities and Walkable Downtowns. What\u2019s Not? Commuting.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric vehicles may be trendy, but a major housing survey, titled <em>Emerging Trends in Real Estate\u00ae&nbsp;United States and Canada&nbsp;2022<\/em>,&nbsp;shows people on the hunt for walkable places. Yes, most storefront retailers have given way to online shopping. But there are exceptions. Health rules permitting, people will still be visiting gyms and bike shops, coffee shops and restaurants, grocery stores, and computer and hardware retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from home, once the virus emergency response, has settled in as a norm. The change has enabled working people to make moves from highly taxed, coastal hubs to southern and western regions \u2014 although Seattle, a dynamic tech hub, is still a draw for young professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top cities in the southwest are Phoenix, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin. In the southeast, the big draws are metro Nashville, Raleigh-Durham, Tampa-St. Pete, Charlotte and Atlanta. Among northeastern cities, Buffalo and Boston are attracting high interest. All seem are benefiting from high housing demand and resilient job markets. Many arriving buyers are using new property technologies to run assessments and invest in their chosen markets, and to manage the properties they\u2019re buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It\u2019s Real Now: The Rise of the 1099 Mortgage Borrower<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/the-rise-of-the-1099-mortgage-borrower.jpg\" alt=\"Person sitting on a couch looking at a smart phone and a laptop computer at the same time\" class=\"wp-image-1904\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/the-rise-of-the-1099-mortgage-borrower.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/the-rise-of-the-1099-mortgage-borrower-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many mortgage companies will encounter prospective borrowers whose earnings consist of 1099 income in 2022. The rise of the app society combined with the 2020 shutdowns has accelerated the gig economy, internet-based work, and, for many, a shift to self-employment. This means big changes ahead for a mortgage industry long focused on W-2 paystubs and traditional salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the advent of Covid, it was harder for contract workers to make the case that they have stable income sources. But today\u2019s mortgage industry must adjust \u2014 and understand that buyers in the era of Amazon, internet startups and gig economy are here to stay. A new approach is needed to accommodate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the rise of the non-traditional earner will be a hallmark of 2022. The world will of home financing will start to integrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/can-machine-learning-empower-a-million-renters-to-buy-homes\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) to accurately assess applicants\u2019 borrowing capacity based on more flexible work arrangements than people have had in the past. Although it was not covered in the 2022 real estate trends survey, AI will be a key innovation for the real estate industry, so we\u2019re following it closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Climate Changes Real Estate \u2014 For Real<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe spring and summer of 2021 may be remembered as the time much of the world finally began to take climate change seriously,\u201d observes PwC, which produced <em>Emerging Trends in Real Estate\u00ae&nbsp;United States and Canada&nbsp;2022<\/em>&nbsp;in collaboration with the Urban Land Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDevastating wildfires, record heat and drought plagued the US West. Massive flooding inundated New York City, Louisiana and elsewhere around the globe, including China&nbsp;and parts of Europe\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey authors observe that environmental, social and governance (ESG) values are widely discussed, yet not all investors think putting their money into ESG will produce better returns. It\u2019s imperative for the real estate sphere to raise its ESG game. The industry is \u201cideally positioned,\u201d says PwC, to help reduce climate disruption and enhance our capacity to deal with increasing risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a positive note, the 2022 survey shows that 82% of respondents are actively concerned with social and environmental issues, and that their concerns are impacting where they want to buy, how they invest, or which projects they are willing to finance. Indeed, it\u2019s time to stop talking and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/services\/esg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start taking concrete steps<\/a>, says PwC. Actually, it\u2019s time for non-concrete steps, given that concrete is now understood to be a major emissions-related material!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u261b<\/em><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Read about <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/the-rise-of-the-zero-carbon-home\/\"><strong><em>The Rise of the Zero-Carbon Home: A Trend Whose Time Has Come<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> on Deeds.com.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ring Out the Old\u2014Because Some Markets May Be Forever Changed.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One theme we know will prevail in 2022 is change.
