With rising rates keeping inventory and sales down, 2023 has seen a holding pattern for many real estate owners. Prices have held steady, but there has not been much movement in the market.
That’s likely to change in a major way as we head into 2024.
As the founder and president of Underwood Law Firm, a California-based boutique law firm that specializes in partition actions, I have a unique perspective on the real estate market. A partition action is a legal method that allows a property owner in a bad real estate relationship to use the court system to force the sale. Through my work, I have seen how trends in the larger economy can impact this decision, and how anticipated shifts in 2024 might play out for property owners.
