The stats are out for the month of March, and it was a busy month!   As of almost the end of April, we are experiencing SERIOUS low inventory, down 75% over one year ago.  I think many Sellers are nervous about listing their homes while we are seeing the virus, and not knowing if they would be able to locate a replacement home!

We are seeing homeowners pricing their homes higher than "fair market value", and also seeing offers WAY over list price and multiple offers.   Appraisers are trying to make it work, but it helps when buyers "make up the gap" between the purchase price and appraised value.

Buyers - If you have thought about buying a home this year - NOW IS THE TIME!   The interest rate is unbelievable - below 3%.  You can buy more home than you could just six months ago.  Be sure to be pre-approved and know what your budget is!  Be prepared, many homeowners are asking for a 60-day rentback to find a replacement home.

 

Sellers - My sellers are seeing a nice bottom line!    If you are thinking of selling but worried you won’t find a replacement home, I can enter into MLS the fact you require a contingency of a replacement home.
