Connecticut & Westchester County, NY Real Estate Market ready to "POP".
Customer feedback and general consensus at the William Raveis Agent Advisory Council meeting seems to say that the spring market is ready to "POP". It seems that buyers and sellers have been waiting on the side lines due one of the snowiest winters here in the Connecticut and Westchester County, New York area. In the past two weeks there has been a pick up of activity in Connecticut and Westchester County with an increase in office call activity, rental demand growing and even multiple offers on some listings have been reported. The William Raveis Real Estate website has seen a dramatic increase of use recently.
Some of the important factors causing this are:
Inventory has been slow to come to the market mainly due to all the snow New England has been getting since the end of December. Seller do not want to deal with the slush and mess of showing houses, majority of buyers seem to be waiting so they can inspect yards and outside of buildings.
This is causing pent up demand in some areas, buyers are circling around waiting for that perfect fit; if homes are priced to match the current market conditions you can see multiple offers and accepted offers within a week of listing.
Mortgage Rates are another factor playing a big part as they are creeping up causing concern to buyers and seller alike. Even though they are still at a 40 year low they are moving up causing buyers to want to lock in ASAP. Sellers also realize that if mortgage rates go up, then the buyer has less spending power to buy homes.
The dynamics of real estate is complicated but it seems like the spring market is ready for an upswing and growth in activity here in the Connecticut and lower New York region. William Raveis website offers FREE local up to date housing data and statistics along with MLS listings, mortgage rates, mapping of neighborhoods and more.
