We are experiencing an interesting market. Inventory has dropped and sales have dropped, interest rates are also very low, but prices continue to settle lower. Our current market is demonstrating that buyers are being very patient in their home-buying decisions, and motivated sellers are dropping their prices to entice o
As we enter into the holiday season the seasonal shift of fewer homes coming on the market. When home inventory drops in our market we start to see homes selling faster and home prices increasing as the instances of multiple offers on homes become more frequent. This coupled with lower interest rates is positioning the market to go up in the next few months.
Not all buyers may not yet be adjusting to this, after all, they have been hearing from their agents and news outlets that the market has been dropping. So buyer attitudes may be that they don’t feel rushed and are still being picky about their home purchase.
We are noticing homes selling faster now, not all homes, but desirable homes that are priced right are getting most if not all the attention. Meanwhile, other homes may be sitting on the market. While this trend of lower inventory continues buyers will start to notice home prices increasing and it may motivate them to buy a home soon.
Keep in mind that the economic situation can be volatile. There are still concerns about the ongoing trade war with China and that situation could escalate and disrupt buyer attitudes.
