As the world continues to shift, so do housing market trends. The real estate trends are shaped by different factors depending on the situation every year. If you’ve been wondering if waiting until 2022 is the perfect time to buy a house or just take advantage of the current low rates, read these predictions as well as some tips to help you prepare as you navigate the market:
Property Market 2022 Predictions
Rise of commercial spaces
As lots of companies continue to shift to hybrid/remote work due to the effects of the pandemic, the need for smaller office spaces is in high demand. Fulfillment centre spaces for e-commerce have also been increasing for small and big retailers to service their consumers. Multifamily units, both newly-built and renovated, have also become popular for families and the working class on a mortgage or rental basis.

Technology continues to play a role in the buying process
The current generation of home buyers entering the property market makes use of technology to assess their choices, review and research on suburbs, and communicate with agents. Being visible online and social media is the best way to buy or sell a house and connect with a tech-savvy generation.

Competition remains fierce, but it’s slowly calming down
Due to the pandemic, housing inventory has become limited with sellers withdrawing their listing. Due to the limitations, prices have soared and bidding wars became aggressive, which may intimidate first-time home buyers. However as of August 2021, the bidding wars are beginning to drop, making the market a bit easier to break into for all kinds of home buyers for the months to come.

Welcoming suburban living
From urban living to suburban living, lots of home buyers have been slowly considering the charm of peace and quiet the suburbs bring from the hustle and bustle of city living. As lots of companies switch to long-term remote work, people can now choose to live outside the centre at a much more affordable price and just commute when necessary. This shift to living the suburban dream leads to lower prices for both suburb and urban housing units.

Tips for Home Buyers in 2022
Prepare for mortgage requirements
Housing markets are competitive and home buyers must stay on top of the requirements and changes, especially when applying for a loan. Depending on the mortgage type, improving credit score, settling debts, and having a stable or increased income are a must for starters.

Prepare a budget for housing and other expenses
Upon shortlisting neighbourhoods and houses to choose from, setting a budget is the next step. Have a budget for housing expenses to be used for maintaining or improving roofing, HVAC systems, and design.
