If there’s a second wave of COVID, how will the real estate market react? If we get another strong nationwide surge, the market will slow a bit. Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, you should be prepared for that.
We’re advising our sellers to prepare to put their properties on the market now. Our absorption rate is just 1.3 months, and this hot market heavily favors sellers. Now’s the time to make a move and get ahead of anything that could come down the pipe.
“The middle of the market has plenty of opportunities for investors.”
We’re giving the same advice to buyers. Now is the time to take advantage of the low interest rates while they’re here (below 3%) as inventory starts to increase. Most buyers we are working with are seeing two to three homes hit the market each day that fit their criteria.
If you’re an investor, there are also opportunities for you in this marketplace. The market is absorbing pristine, move-in ready properties, but if you’re willing to put in some of the work yourself, you can get a great deal on some homes that need a bit of improvements. The middle of the market is being punished a bit, which makes it a great segment for you to take advantage of.
In summary, there are great opportunities for buyers, sellers, and investors in our marketplace right now. If you have any questions for me about your situation or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you.
