This is a trend seen across the country, as many homeowners are choosing to stay put due to the limited inventory available. However, this low inventory can also create a sense of urgency for buyers, making it a good time to purchase a home in Fort Wayne.

Interest rates have also been a factor since the middle of 2022 with rates doubling from the lows of early 2022. In recent weeks we have begun to see a lowering of the rates and are currenltey at around…

Quick Fort Wayne real estate market update comparing stats from July 2021 to July 2022. A lot of market factors are in play, we are contending with higher interest rates and inflation that has created some uncertainty for buyers and sellers.
