Overall, Raleigh is selling twice as fast as the rest of the nation and part of that has to do with the high demand, low supply in the area.

MLS is especially poor for find deals right now because the supply of houses is way down and has been since COVID.

Home loans interest rates are artificially low because the US is using home loans to inflate the money supply ( the FED is buying billions of dollars of home loans because it is cheaper and easier than printing money  -- study fractional reserve banking and fiat money if you don't believe me)   Without the artificially low interest rates, demand for homes would drip (and so would home prices).   

This will cause an increase in supply and typically cause a decrease in prices.Reason 2 : Many will be unable to pay two mortgages as rates change, forbearance terms end or a recessionary period occurs.

@Daryl AndersonNice man yeah I am at Willoughby Supply.

Right now the demand is scorching hot and there isn't enough supply to meet the market which equates to double digit appreciation.

If you are only supplying a stove and fridge, rather than a full 4-piece kitchen, my assumption is that this is a C or B class neighborhood, so there is no need for solid surface countertops or anything above builder grade cabinets.
