What affects the number of homes for sale and why it matters.
Housing inventory is a key indicator of the strength housing market and the overall economy. Housing inventory, simply put, is the number of homes for sale. Economic forecaster keep a close eye on the National Association of Realtors (NAR) housing inventory report, which estimates how long it would take to sell all of the houses on the market at that time.
Understanding the Housing Inventory
In a healthy housing market, it would generally take six to seven months for the available housing inventory to sell. During 2008 the Housing Bust pushed supply above 10 months. Analysis of the 2011 figures from NAR show a slight improvment with a supply that would take 9.5 months to clear off the books.
What Makes Inventory Rise or Fall?
Federal Policy- The NAR figures show that inventory dropped below eight months supply in September 2009, as buyers hurried to qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,000. for first time home buyers. When the tax credit expired on July 1,2010 the report shows that the supply spiked at 12.5 months before leveling off.
Foreclosures- January 2010 was the height of the housing crises. At that point, about 2 million homes, or 8.5 months of inventory were about to come on the market due to foreclosures.
Credit Cost and Availability- When banks make it easier or harder to get a loan or when interest rates fluctuate, the change can affect housing sales. The unemployment rate can also have a similar effect.
Buyer Willingness to Shop- High gas prices and severe weather such as wintercan also discourage potential buyers from house hunting. Inventory also tends to fluctuate seasonally, since many buyers prefereto move in the spring and summer that coincides with school being out. and better weather.
If you have any questions about housing inventory or buying or selling a home, please send me an email, text, or give me a call.

When you're thinking about buying a home, the first steps in the home buying process are:
1. Deciding when you want to make your move.
2. Considering how much money you would like to spend.
3. Thinking about what needs you have in a home.
4. Deciding where you would like to live.
The next step is usually finding out how much loan you can qualify for and deciding the type of financing that will work best for you.
If you're in the "thinking" stage, you will want to speak with a lender about receiving pre-qualification. If you choose to become pre-qualified, the lender will determine how much you can borrow based on financial information you provide to the lender. Pre-qualification is useful for making preliminary decisions about how much home you can afford, but does not assess your creditworthiness.
You will need to fill out a loan application and go through the lender's loan approval process at a later date. When you decide to buy a home, you will want to become pre-approved for a loan prior to beginning your home search. This makes the process smoother and shows sellers you are a serious buyer.
To contact our preferred lender please give us a call. Please don't hesitate to call or email for additional information about the buying process. Our goal is to provide you with practical information as you consider your next move. And, when you're ready to make your move, We'll help you find your dream home and handle all the details of the transaction, so all you need to do is pack!
If you have questions about making the decision to buy a home, please feel free to call Text or email.
Marriages already strained by the economic crisis are thrust into even worse territory when couples choose to divorce but cannot sell their homes.
Each spouse needs the proceeds of the property sale to make a down payment on another home or to otherwise move on with their lives; but in many instances, there are no takers for the residence and the owners owe more than the real estate is worth.
While one spouse might move in with family or friends, the couple often has to remain in the home together to wait out the housing downturn.
In some cases, the home is divided into "his" and "her" areas, or estranged spouses take turns living in the home with their children. Some couples are using retirement accounts to make divorce settlement payments.
The situation can be even more complicated when one partner wants to keep the house and refuses to agree to a sale arrangement.
Anytime there's a peripheral issue (like divorce, a job loss, death or possible foreclosure), it's important to get it all out in the open. If a couple is getting a divorce and trying to sell their house, they need to give their real estate agent as much information as necessary.
It also is critical, for the property professional to assign the home an appropriate asking price and to avoid siding with either spouse.
