“The current level of homes prices is not sustainable,” said Jeffrey Otteau, a real estate economist and president of the Otteau Group. “It’s just a matter of time before home prices start to decline.”Home prices increased 12% in 2020 and 15% in 2021, for a total of 27% in two years. And they are expected to keep going up 6% this year and 2% next year before declining, Otteau said.
That’s a difference of $411 per month. “It’s a lot,” said Michael Read of Bridgeway Mortgage and Real Estate Services in Morristown.
