It’s no secret that the real estate market has slowed down. Rapidly rising interest rates, uncertainty in the economy, and the looming threat of a recession have taken their toll.

The latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that existing home sales in July declined by 20 percent. Existing home sales in August 2021 were 576,000. But in August 2022, only 451,000 homes were sold—a decline of 125,000 home sales.
With interest rates expected to continue rising into 2023, home inspectors (and all real estate related professions) will be watching home sales activity with a careful eye—and doing everything they can to drum up business.

Isaac's timely cover story is about the slowing real estate market and how it can affect home inspection business's and others in the real estate profession.
In a changing market we all need to start thinking more creatively to come up with new and improved marketing to reach the new customer which may be the seller about to list their property.
