FIVE REASONS TO SELL THIS WINTER
1 . Demand Is Strong The latest from the National Association of Realtors ( NAR ) shows that buyer demand remains very strong throughout the vast majority of the country . These buyers are ready , willing and able to purchase … and are in the market right now ! More often than not , multiple buyers are competing with each other to buy a home .
Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market . 2 . There Is Less Competition Now
Housing inventory is still under the 6-month supply that is needed for a normal housing market . This means , in the majority of the country , there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in that market . This is good news for home prices . However , additional inventory could be coming to market soon .
There is a pent-up desire for many homeowners to move , as they were unable to sell over the last few years because of a negative equity situation . Homeowners are now seeing a return to positive equity as real estate values have increased over the last two years . Many of these homes will be coming to the market this winter .
projected to continue to increase reaching historic levels in 2017 .
The choices buyers have will continue to increase . Don ’ t wait until all this other inventory of homes comes to market before you sell .
