Rates are dropping.. ⬇️
This is an opportune moment for both buying and selling! With the recent decrease in interest rates, although mortgage rates might still be slightly higher than preferred, they’ve notably declined in the past month. Regardless of the market’s inclination, purchasing now allows for immediate equity building.

For those hesitant due to the current rate environment and considering waiting for further improvements, keep in mind the option of refinancing! If anyone has inquiries about buying or selling, or wishes to understand the current market trends, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

📉 MARKET ALERT:

The average stands at 6.95% for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. Notably, there’s been a surge in mortgage applications, coupled with an intriguing increase in available inventory as reported by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), although still below pre-pandemic levels.

Strategic sellers are preparing to list their properties promptly. Their foresight lies in understanding that as rates continue to decrease, buyer demand will inevitably rise. Considering most sellers also need to buy a new property after selling their homes, a rate in the 6% range is far more manageable than rates hovering around 8%.

Sellers who take action and list their homes while purchasing in Q1 will reap better benefits than those who delay. Why? The influx of buyers flooding the market will drive prices upwards. While this benefits sellers, it spells difficulty for buyers. Waiting until later (Q1) to purchase the same house could cost them tens of thousands more.

Therefore, if you’re contemplating selling your home with plans to purchase a new one, now is the ideal time.

While I don’t possess a crystal ball, I meticulously study the market regularly. You can wait for “spring,” but here’s a little insider tip: the spring market essentially begins on January 1st.

If you or someone you know is ready to list or buy, get in touch with me! 😊
