But why are experts so confident the housing market will see ongoing appreciation? It’s because of supply and demand in most markets. As Bankrate says:

“After all, supplies of homes for sale remain near record lows. And while a jump in mortgage rates has dampened demand somewhat, demand still outpaces supply, thanks to a combination of little new construction and strong household formation by large numbers of millennials.”

With the recent increase in home prices and projections for appreciation in most markets this year, will home prices fall?  The answer according to leading experts is no. In fact, they are confident that prices will continue to appreciate this year despite a more moderate rate than last year.
