ESTATE MARKET CYCLES BACK TO BUYERS If you are thinking of buying a home, now might be the right time for you. The
real estate market has moved off of the frenzied pace that has characterized it for the
past few years. Today, we are seeing a strong inventory, low interest rates, and continued
belief that real estate remains a valuable investment.
The Real Estate market remained strong over
the past year.
Typically, Real Estate sales drop off in the fourth quarter, as people tend to prefer to
make a move after the holidays. If a good house comes on the market, there are buyers who
are ready to pounce. The key for sellers is to understand that there is more inventory
available than in years past, and to price their house realistically with the help of an
agent who knows the area and the buyers in the market.
INTEREST RATES
DOWN, INVENTORY UP
The days of multiple offers that drove
sales prices in many regions over the listing price during the buying frenzy of the late
1990s and early 2000 are gone, at least for the moment. But even though the real
estate market has moved from frenzied to stable, it still remains strong. Interest rates
are low; there is a wide selection of homes to choose from and buyers can take more time
to shop, compare, and look at many houses before making an offer. In real estate circles,
that is what is called "a Buyers Market".
