Thinking of selling and buying a new Home?
When the pandemic hit in early 2020 the number of homes available for sale dropped dramatically. Then, despite all the uncertainties the real estate market took off. Buyer demand, fueled by unprecedented low interest rates, was through the roof. Because of the low inventory levels, homes sold quickly and multiple offers, over asking price, were common. This perfect storm of low inventory, low interest rates, and intense buyer demand, generated two-years of double-digit home price appreciation. If you owned a home during this time, your home equity likely increased by 10-25%.
Fast forward to 2023 – and things have changed dramatically. Inventory levels are still at about 50% of normal but higher interest rates have limited buyers purchasing power and slowed the market. Technically, we are still in a sellers’ market due to low inventory levels but the days of multiple offers, well over asking price, are fading fast. The market has shifted and we are trending back to normal.
