<\/p>\n
Even if you haven\u2019t been following real estate news, you\u2019ve likely heard about the current sellers\u2019 market<\/a>. That\u2019s because there\u2019s a lot of talk about how strong market conditions<\/a> are for people who want to sell their houses<\/a>. But if you\u2019re thinking about listing your house, you probably want to know: what does being in a sellers\u2019 market really mean?<\/span><\/p>\n The latest Existing Home Sales Report<\/em><\/a> from the National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR) shows housing supply is still very low. There\u2019s a 2-month supply of homes at the current sales pace. <\/strong><\/p>\n Historically, a 6-month supply is necessary for a normal or neutral market where there are enough homes available for active buyers. That puts today deep in sellers\u2019 market territory (see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n When the supply of houses for sale is as low as it is right now, it\u2019s much harder for buyers to find homes to purchase. That creates increased competition among purchasers which can lead to more bidding wars<\/a>. And if buyers know they may be entering a bidding war, they\u2019re going to do their best to submit a very attractive offer upfront. This could drive the final price of your house up.<\/p>\n And because mortgage rates<\/a> and home prices<\/a> are climbing, serious buyers are motivated to make their purchase soon, before those two things rise further. That means, if you put your house on the market<\/a> while supply is still low, it will likely get a lot of attention from competitive buyers.<\/p>\n The current real estate market has incredible opportunities for homeowners looking to make a move. Listing your house this season means you\u2019ll be in front of serious buyers who are ready to buy. Let\u2019s connect so you can jumpstart the selling process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWhat Is a Sellers\u2019 Market?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
