I don't see it anytime soon. With no inventory and a surplus of buyers in my area it's not getting any better. We'll see how this year plays out with the rates

    It doesn't really matter.  It's not the asking price that matters.  What matters is HOW you buy it.

    My area is the same way, very little inventory. I'd bet on rates going higher but higher rates will continue to keep potential sellers locked into their 3% mortgages and will also bog down new construction which is keeping inventory low.

     Yep. Only people that have to move are. Why get rid of cheap debt?  Investors are doing 1031's but interest rates are making deals harder.
