Housing Inventory Low in Your Area?

By
Mortgage and Lending with Southern Trust Mortgage NMLS# 139186

In recent talks with my realtor partners, I've heard the same story from many of them -  not enough inventory! 

So yes, housing inventory in December 2015 fell by almost 4% from the previous year, and homes are selling VERY quickly, often above asking price.

What this means for buyers, is that waiting may be costly.  Obviously the sale price of the home will be will be more later in the year, but don't forget, the necessary cash to close increases as well.

We have great programs that may significantly decrease out of pocket costs and we LOVE helping folks into the home of their dreams!

Welcome to ActiveRain! In the last few days, our area has seen more homes pop up, so our inventory shortage may be nearing an end (for now).

Hi Scott,

Welcome to ActiveRain.

I hope you will like what you find here.

Like Joan Cox in Denver, our inventory has gotten very tight.

I remember when I was starting out. I couldn’t imagine ever writing hundreds of posts.

There was so much I didn’t know. Surely I didn’t really belong here.

Well let me encourage you to take one step at a time and hang in there.

I’ve made good money via ActiveRain and learned a lot. But the best thing that ActiveRain has done for me is in this post.

Congratulations on your first blog.  Our inventory in Central Florida is very low.  I have a buyer looking for a home in one of two towns in the $330,000 range and they can't find one.  Prices are rising!  I got their home under contract in 9 days!

Welcome to Activerain. 

Inventory is also low in my neck of the woods. Buyers would be wise to buy now as interest rates are historically low and there is much less competition. As Spring approaches, it might be a different story. So why wait? I see no reason to.

Great question Scott, it seems to be a fluctuating topic around the country with some areas having a shortage of inventory and others being quite the opposite.
