Mark Worrilow, District Director at Fathom Realty, shared insights into the local real estate market.

Worrilow attributed the previous slowdown to a rapid interest rate surge, causing buyers and sellers to exercise caution.

The potential for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates further could stimulate activity by attracting more investors and influencing mortgage rates.
