\"How<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s housing market<\/a>, there are far more buyers looking for homes than sellers listing their houses. Based on the concept of supply and demand, this means home prices will naturally rise. Why is that? When there are more people trying to buy an item than there are making that item available for sale, that drives prices up. And that\u2019s exactly the case in today\u2019s housing market. So, knowing what\u2019s happening with the inventory of homes for sale and the demand for housing is crucial for today\u2019s buyers and sellers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nationally, Demand Is High and Supply Is Very Low<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The latest buyer and seller activity data<\/a> from the National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR) indicates buyer traffic heavily outweighs seller traffic today, as shown in the maps below. There are far darker blues (strong buyer activity) on the left and much lighter blues (weak seller activity) on the right. In other words, this shows how the demand for homes is significantly greater than what\u2019s available to purchase.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

What Does This Mean if You\u2019re a Seller?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Supply is struggling to keep pace with demand. In fact, the inventory of homes for sale recently hit an all-time low<\/a>. That gives you an incredible advantage<\/a> when you sell your house. With so few listings, it\u2019s likely more potential buyers will view your house \u2013 especially if you work with an agent to price it right. That means there\u2019s a high chance you\u2019ll receive multiple offers<\/a> or buyers will enter a bidding war for your house. And that dynamic can drive the sale price of your home up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Does This Mean if You\u2019re a Buyer?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a buyer with fewer options<\/a> available, you\u2019re likely to see more competition, so you need to be strategic to win<\/a>. First, make sure you have a trusted professional on your side. Your real estate agent will help you understand your local market and work with you to act quickly<\/a> when the time is right. Even when it\u2019s challenging to find a home, you can still succeed as a buyer today if you have a trusted advisor on your side every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re a homebuyer, seller, or both, knowledge truly is power. Let\u2019s connect today so you can better understand what\u2019s happening in our local market and achieve your homebuying and selling goals this year.<\/p>\n
