In a word: the forecast is difficult. The buyers planning to buy in the DFW area in 2022 need to be prepared for intense competition for homes, which means that they need to either 1) find ways to find the extra cash to win intense bidding wars to get into a house of their choice, or 2) come up with a house hacking strategy that would allow them to purchase a home that does not have a lot of buyer interest and, therefore, could be purchased at asking price (and not above asking price).
