75% of Homeowners Think Now is a Good Time to Sell!
Finally, something our country can agree on! Let’s talk about why it’s such a great time to sell.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently released the findings of their Q2 Homeownership Opportunities and Market Experience (HOME) Survey. The report covers core topics like, “if now is a good time to buy or sell a home, the perception of home price changes, perceived ability to qualify for a mortgage, and [an] outlook on the U.S. economy.”
The survey revealed that 75% of homeowners think now is a good time to sell, compared to 70% last quarter. This is a considerable increase from more than a year ago when 66% agreed.
Even though homeowners believe that now is a good time to sell, many have not taken the step to list their homes, as inventory shortages still exist across the country. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s Chief Economist, had this to say:
“There are just not enough homeowners deciding to sell because they’re either content where they are, holding off until they build more equity, or hesitant seeing as it will be difficult to find an affordable home to buy…
As a result, inventory conditions have worsened and are restricting sales from breaking out while contributing to price appreciation that remains far above income growth.”
Bottom Line
If you are wondering if now is a good time to sell your house, let’s get together to discuss the opportunities available in our market.
When your dreams change, I’m here to help you chase, and catch, your new dream.
I literally wake up in the middle of the night with marketing ideas for my listings. Using modern marketing tactics, I pride myself on setting the gold standard for Real Estate marketing.
Nearly 50% of the properties that I marketed last year went under-contract opening weekend. Trust me. My clients were delighted.
Personally, I love to dance (tango, west coast swing, lindy hop), surf (well, I try to), and laugh (every chance I get)!
Joyfully,
Ann
