What’s in Store for the Spring Home Buying Market?
The real estate market is experiencing a unique phenomenon this year as inventory falls during a time when it usually rises. Despite the typical spring seller surge, there are no indications of a significant increase in listings. This lack of supply has resulted in a highly competitive market, with good listings selling immediately. However, there is no evidence of additional downward or significant upward price pressure in the current market. This indicates that prices are likely to remain stable in the near future.
Another noteworthy aspect of the current market is the decrease in price reductions compared to last fall. This decrease suggests that we are unlikely to see a significant number of lower sales in the coming months. Additionally, buyers are highly sensitive to interest rates, which makes it unlikely for prices to increase significantly in the near future. Despite the competitive market conditions, transactions are expected to decrease significantly this year.
Overall, the real estate market is experiencing a unique set of circumstances this year. While inventory is falling and there is a highly competitive market, there are no indications of significant price pressure in either direction. The decrease in price reductions compared to last fall suggests a stable market, while the sensitivity of buyers to interest rates makes significant price increases unlikely.
