  Why Today’s Housing Inventory Proves the Market Isn’t Headed for a Crash Whether or not you owned a home in 2008, you likely remember the housing crash that took place back then. And news about an  economic slowdown  happening today may bring all those concerns back to the surface. While those feelings are understandable, data can help reassure you the situation today is nothing like it was in 2008. One of the key reasons why the market  won’t crash  this time is the current undersupply of inventory. Housing supply comes from three key places: Current homeowners putting their homes up for sale Newly built homes coming onto the market Distressed properties (short sales or foreclosures) For the market to crash, you’d have to make a case for an oversupply of inventory headed to the market, and the numbers just don’t support that. So, here’s a deeper look at where inventory is coming from today to help prove why the housing market isn’t headed for a crash. Current...

  Planning To Retire? Your Equity Can Help You Reach Your Goal. Whether you’ve just retired or you’re thinking about retirement, you may be considering your options and trying to picture a whole new stage of your life. And you’re not alone.  Research  from the  Retirement Industry Trust Association  (RITA) shows 10,000 Baby Boomers reach the typical retirement age (65) every day, and only 47% of the people in that generation have already retired. If this sounds like you, one thing worth considering is whether or not your current home will suit your new lifestyle. If your home doesn’t have the features or benefits you’re looking for, the good news is, you may be in a better position to move than you realize. That’s because, if you already own a home, you’ve likely built-up significant  equity , and that can help you fuel your next move.  According  to the  National Association of Realtors  (NAR): “A homeowner who purchased a typical home ...

  If you’re worried home prices are going to decline, rest assured many experts raised their forecasts to say they’ll continue to appreciate in most markets this year. If you have questions about what’s happening with home prices in our local area, let’s connect. Experts Increase 2022 Home Price Projections If you’re wondering if  home prices  are going to come down due to the cooldown in the  housing market  or a  potential recession , here’s what you need to know. Not only are experts forecasting home prices will continue to appreciate nationwide this year, but most of them also actually increased their projections for home price appreciation from their original 2022 forecasts ( shown in green in the chart below ): As the chart shows, most sources adjusted up, and now call for more appreciation in 2022 than they originally projected this January. But why are experts so confident the housing market will see ongoing appreciation? It’s because of  suppl...

  What Does the Rest of the Year Hold for Home Prices? Whether you’re a potential  homebuyer ,  seller , or both, you probably want to know:  will home prices fall this year?  Let’s break down what’s happening with home prices, where experts say they’re headed, and why this matters for your  homeownership  goals. Last Year’s Rapid Home Price Growth Wasn’t the Norm In 2021, home prices appreciated quickly. One reason why is that record-low mortgage rates motivated more buyers to enter the market. As a result, there were more people looking to make a purchase than there were homes available for sale. That led to competitive bidding wars which drove prices up.  CoreLogic  helps  explain  how unusual last year’s appreciation was: “ Price appreciation averaged 15% for the full year of 2021 , up from the 2020 full year average of 6%.” In other words, the pace of appreciation in 2021 far surpassed the 6% the market saw in 2020. And ev...

Why Hire a Licensed Real Estate Agent : The recent news about OpenDoor being fined for misleading customer practices shines a very real and important spotlight on the value of hiring a real estate agent.

  Buying a Home May Make More Financial Sense Than Renting One If rising home prices leave you wondering if it makes more sense to  rent or buy  a home in today’s housing market, consider this. It’s not just  home prices  that have risen in recent years – rental prices have skyrocketed as well. As a recent article from  realtor.com   says : “The median rent across the 50 largest US metropolitan areas reached $1,876 in June,  a new record level for Realtor.com data for the 16th consecutive month .” That means  rising prices  will likely impact your housing plans either way. But there are a few key differences that could make  buying a home  a more worthwhile option for you. If You Need More Space, Buying a Home May Be More Affordable What you may not realize is that, according to the latest data from  realtor.com  and the  National Association of Realtors  (NAR), it may actually be more affordable to buy...

  3 Graphs To Show This Isn’t a Housing Bubble With all the headlines and buzz in the media, some consumers believe the market is in a  housing bubble . As the housing  market shifts , you may be wondering what’ll happen next. It’s only natural for concerns to creep in that it could be a repeat of what took place in 2008. The good news is, there’s concrete data to show why this is nothing like the last time. There’s a Shortage of Homes on the Market Today, Not a Surplus The supply of inventory needed to sustain a normal real estate market is approximately six months. Anything more than that is an overabundance and will causes prices to depreciate. Anything less than that is a shortage and will lead to continued price appreciation. For historical context, there were too many homes for sale during the housing crisis (many of which were short sales and foreclosures), and that caused prices to tumble. Today,  supply is growing , but there’s still a shortage of inven...
