\"On<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of selling<\/a> your house, it may be because you\u2019ve heard prices are rising<\/a>, listings are going fast, and sellers are getting multiple offers<\/a> on their homes. But why are conditions so good for sellers today? And what can you expect<\/a> when you move? To help answer both of those questions, let\u2019s turn to the data.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, there are far more buyers looking for homes than sellers listing their houses. Here are the maps of the latest buyer and seller traffic<\/a> from the National Association of Realtors <\/em>(NAR) to help paint the picture of what this looks like:<\/p>\n

\"On<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice how much darker the blues are on the left. This shows buyer traffic is strong today. In contrast, the much lighter blues on the right indicate weak or very weak seller traffic. In a nutshell, the demand for homes is significantly greater than what\u2019s available to purchase. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What That Means for You<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You have an incredible advantage when you sell your house<\/a> under these conditions. Since buyer demand is so high at a time when seller traffic is so low, there\u2019s a good chance buyers will be competing for your house.<\/p>\n

According to NAR, in February, the average home sold got <\/strong>4.8 offers<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>When buyers have to compete with one another like this, they\u2019ll do everything they can to make their offer stand out. This could play to your favor and mean you\u2019ll see things like waived contingencies<\/a>, offers over asking price, earnest money deposits<\/a>, and more. Selling when demand is high and supply is low sets you up for a big win.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re also looking to buy a house, you may be tempted to focus more on just the seller traffic map and wonder if it means you\u2019ll have trouble finding your next home<\/a>. But remember this: perspective is key. As Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com<\/em>, says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe limited number of homes for sale is a lesson in perspective. This same stat that frustrates would-be homebuyers also means that today\u2019s home sellers enjoy more limited competition than last year\u2019s home sellers<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you look at the big picture, the opportunity you have as a seller today is unprecedented. Last year was a hot sellers\u2019 market<\/a>. This year, inventory is even lower, and that means an even bigger opportunity for you. Even though finding your next home in a market with low inventory<\/a> can be challenging, is that concern worth passing on some of the best conditions sellers have ever seen?<\/p>\n

As added peace of mind, remember real estate professionals<\/a> have been juggling this imbalance of supply and demand for nearly two years, and they know how to help both buyers and sellers find success when they move. A skilled agent can help you capitalize on the great opportunity you have as a seller today and guide you through the buying process until you find the perfect place to call your next home.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re ready to move, you have an incredible opportunity in front of you today. Trust the experts. Let\u2019s connect so you have expertise on your side that can help you win when you sell and when you buy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
