Frank Martell, President and CEO of CoreLogic, said he expects things to cool, but price growth will remain positive…

  • “Over the past year, we have seen one of the most robust seller’s markets in a generation. While increased interest rates may help cool down homebuying activity, we expect 2022 to be another strong year with continuing upward price growth.”
