Where Is the Real Estate Market Going?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Frisco Stars 662385

 

Many are questioning where the real estate market is heading.  For quite a while it has been a sellers market but something is in the horizon.  Historically there is always a shift in the market and it is usually every 7 years.  We are clearly seeing signs of the SHIFT coming.

 

Presently there are more price reductions on listings in lieu of new listings coming on the market.  Part of that is we are heading into a slower time for the real estate market but the biggest question is this a sign of what's coming.

 

I firmly believe we are heading into a shift since house prices are out performing job incomes. Hoeowners have enjoyed the ride with the average home in Collinn County increasing by 9%.  Along with that property taxes took a major jump.  What's going to happen when it becomes a buyers market.  Clearly we will still live with the increased property taxes and there will be less listings since many will have a hard time realizing that they can't get what their neighbor got last year for their house.

 

It will be interesting watching this unfold and experience the SHIFT.

I think a lot of people know something has to give at some point. But with inventories low in so much of the country and DOM following those low numbers, there is more of a feeling than a mountain of evidence to suggest when and what is coming. I appreciated your opinion here.

In our area, best neighborhoods home sales are sluggish.  Can you see why someone wants to buy a 890 sf 2br, 1 bath cottage on a 5500sf for $2,150,000.00 or $4,490,000.00 3809 sf custom in PA?

Now I see duplexes and triplexes in so so neighborhoods seller wants $1,250,000.00 rural town where Spanish is predominant spoken language....

It can not move much more. Affordability is the key.

None of us have a crystal ball but we do have indicators that speak volumes. Im not saying it is here today but we are heading in that direction.

I invest expecting to play defense.  The pundits will announce a downtrun six months after it occurrred.  Make your pans now.  

Greed is not good.   Sorry Gordon.
