Average house prices as measured by the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas were forecast to stagnate next year.
"Looking ahead, we think there is scope for prices to fall a little further.
"Given supply is likely to stay tight, there is a risk house prices may not fall as much as we previously expected."
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate, currently around 6.7%, was expected to average 6.2% in 2023.
Those high mortgage rates are restricting housing supply, which puts upward pressure on prices, as well as demand.
