$\"Housing$ <\/p>\n

The biggest challenge in real estate today is the lack of available homes for sale. The low housing supply has caused homes throughout the country to appreciate at a much faster rate than what we\u2019ve experienced historically.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many reasons for the limited number of homes on the market, but as you can see in the graph below, we\u2019re well below where we\u2019ve been for most of the past 10 years. Today, across the country, there is only a 2.4-month<\/a> supply of homes available for sale. $\"Housing$ <\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe Opportunity<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>
\n<\/h4>\n
This lack of homes for sale is creating a challenge for many buyers who are growing frustrated in their search. On the other hand, this is a huge opportunity for sellers as low supply is driving up home values. According to CoreLogic<\/em><\/a>, the average home has appreciated by more than $50,000 over the past year<\/a>. And for many homeowners, that\u2019s opening new doors as they re-think their needs and use their equity to move up or downsize.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Frank Nothaft<\/a>, Chief Economist at CoreLogic<\/em>:<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThe average homeowner with a mortgage has more than $200,000 in home equity<\/strong> as of mid-2021.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Today, many sellers are taking advantage of low interest rates and the equity they have in their homes to make a move.<\/p>\n
Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The biggest challenge in real estate is the lack of homes for sale, but this challenge is also an opportunity for sellers. If you\u2019re thinking about selling your house, let\u2019s connect to start the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
