It’s Now A Sellers Market Across The United States

Top Orange County realtors have known for months what listing agents across the United States are only now starting confirm, it’s a sellers market and it’s a fun time to own a home because, due to a lack of supply, homeowners in Orange County and across much of the United States can expect multiple offers.

Changes Across The Market

Recent studies of real estate markets across Orange County and the United States show that homes that are for sales in the US stand at only a six month plus supply compared to just over a nine month supply at the same time last year. The studies that were done by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) also show the bright side of the picture that one of the contributing factors to the lack of supply right now is that are less foreclosures on the market than last year and this is a good sign that are fewer underwater homeowners now than what many Orange County realtors and top listing agents across the country previously thought.

Where Are The Hot Areas?

Real estate industry giant Redfin also released news recently which showed that the hottest areas on the real estate market are Washington D.C, San Francisco, Phoenix and Denver. In each of these areas there is a three-month home supply and buyers in these areas could be starving for homes once that supply has dried up.

How To Compete In The Sellers Market

In today’s real estate market it’s become more important than ever before for buyers to hire aggressive realtors because an aggressive realtor will be the difference between a buyer being able to get the home that they really want and the seller getting the price for their home that they have been dreaming about.

Hi fred~  We are seeing multiple offers here in the Denver market as well!  My latest listing went under contract in 2 days for over asking!  Good news for sellers!  AND still great time for buyers to buy!  That's a win-win for everybody!

In Northeast OH, we have a shortage of inventory in every price range.  However, many of those, who have their homes on the market, list their homes with no preparation.  We need more homes on the market that are in good condition.  Because of the shortage, when a home is in good condition and priced right, we are in multiple offers!

Hi Fred, I am also Orange County based and there is less than a months supply in many south OC areas for homes priced under $500k. Buyer demand coupled with a shortage of new listings seems to be the story. Regards, Dave

Glad to hear that SoCal is getting back into a sellers market just like the SF Bay Area.  Most areas around Silicon Valley in particular are back to quick sales for well priced homes and inventory is very low (1-2 months in most towns).
