As the holiday season approaches, and 2022 comes to a close, the relocation industry is still experiencing an influx of volume that is typically seen in the springtime. The real estate market continues to change- mortgage interest rates increase, and home prices are starting to fall. This enables buyers to be more thorough in their search and not feel like they need to buy sight unseen or wave inspections.

While the international shipping costs have decreased, other areas around the world are still experiencing some challenges. The conflict in Ukraine is continuing to escalate, tensions are running high between North and South Korea, and a very unstable situation in the UK, leads to uncertainty and could potentially delay some relocations into those regions.
