The real estate market is constantly evolving, and one noticeable trend lately is the increase in inventory.

Why Now Could Be the Perfect Time to Sell Despite More "For Sale" Signs in Your Neighborhood

A Shift in Inventory

Last year, many homeowners were hesitant to sell due to high mortgage rates, leading to a significant drop in inventory. However, the tides are turning. According to the latest data from Realtor.com, new listings are up by 15.5% compared to last year. This influx of new listings means more choices for buyers, but it also signals good news for sellers.

Why This is Good for Sellers

Despite more homes hitting the market, home prices continue to climb. We're seeing a healthy balance between supply and demand, which helps keep home prices strong. Moreover, there haven’t been many significant price reductions, indicating that the market remains robust.

Additionally, 72% of home sellers are also home buyers. This means that if you’re selling, you’re likely also in the market to buy. With more inventory, you’ll have more options to find your next dream home. Plus, if you’re considering new construction, there are some excellent incentives available that could help lower your interest rates.

Timing is Everything

If selling your home has been on your mind, now is an excellent time to weigh your options. Home prices are still rising, so waiting could mean you’ll pay more later. Interest rates haven’t dropped yet, which means less competition and no bidding wars at the moment. But once those rates drop, the market is expected to heat up quickly, bringing in serious competition.

Next Steps

The first step in determining if now is the right time to sell is to see if the numbers make sense for you. This involves understanding what your property could sell for and how much equity you have to use towards your next purchase. Reach out to me for a personalized report. We’ll go over it together to ensure the timing is right and that it aligns with your goals.
