Future housing market direction will be clearer after understanding economic conditions, Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, and monitoring housing supply indicators (listings, new builds, foreclosures).
"Once we have a better understanding of what's happening in the economy and once we understand if and when the Federal Reserve Bank is going to be cutting interest rates on the supply side, keep an eye on how many people are selling their houses and how many houses are entering the market and how many new houses are being built plus the foreclosures."
