Housing Market - Changes Mean Good News For Home Buyers

By
Real Estate Agent with Florida Homes Realty & Mortgage

The housing market is changing. Looks like good news for home buyers

One thing’s for sure,
if you’ve been trying to buy a home over the past two years,
you’ve probably faced your fair share of challenges.
Two big ones stand out to me. The limited number of homes for sale,
and the intensity of bidding wars. But, here’s the good news.
Things are starting to shift. 
Take a look at this. This graph shows housing inventory is increasing.And that means you have more options for your home search.That's because more homeowners are listing their houses for sale right now, and rising mortgage rates are moderating the market. So, some of the frenzy is actually cooling off. This is huge if you’ve been worried you won’t be able to find a home to buy, or if you’ve been outbid too many times to count.
So, if you’ve put your home search on pause ,it may be time to re-enter the market.
It won’t be easy, since inventory is still low overall, but it definitely won’t feel as impossible as it has in recent years. If you’re ready to get started,
let’s work together to explore those options and find you the home of your dreams.
and by the way I can help you with your real estate needs here in north east Florida personally  and  I can connect you with an experienced and dedicated agent that’s familiar with the market in your area no matter where you are.

Good morning Mike and Cindy. Opportunity continues to knock in good times and in bad for the knowledgeable. The bar of what is acceptable shifts but the need to sell or buy continues without regard to current economics. Enjoy your day.

We can definitely see the shift happening all around us here in SE Wisconsin.  Buyers will benefit and many sellers will wish they had listed a few months ago before.

The administration's war on domestic oil has skyrocketed gasoline prices, causing historically high inflation, causing the Fed to increase interest rates. All these factors combine to weaken the economy. Gas prices, inflation and higher interest rates siphon money out of the monthly budgets of homeowners and future homebuyers.

 

Fewer buyers means lower demand which increases inventory and slowdown of the intensity of bidding wars. Depending on the degree of future mismanagement of the economy, we may enter a recession which may trigger a housing crash of borrowers who overpaid and over-leveraged but find themselves unable to make the payments.

A housing market slow-down or crash will create opportunities for buyers who have great credit and reliably low debt-to-income ratios.

Whatever buyers/sellers choose to do, it's an important decision that requires careful thought and consideration.  You must prepare for the market you are in!

Thankfully there will be more inventory for buyers who have been shut out.  I only hope that for them the prices aren't too high now and that they can still buyer a home.
