Think again! Real Estate experts say this summer could be one of the best times to sell a home in years. Read further to find out why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand is back and HOT<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

During the pandemic, home selling went under the radar for a while. But now that restrictions are easing up, homebuyers are out with a vengeance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Association of Realtors\u00ae, NAR, Pending Home Sales Index<\/a>, the market is showing signs of a strong rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers<\/a> are outnumbering sellers which means it\u2019s better to be a seller in this current market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inventory remains low<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although the demand for homes is significantly high, the number of homes for sale is at an all-time low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawrence Yun<\/a>, the chief economist of the NAR says that inventory is low because people are living in their homes longer than they used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, studies show<\/a> that Americans are spending an average of 13 years in their home before moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different government stimulus support such as mortgage forbearance and unemployment benefits have resulted in fewer foreclosures on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices are up<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

With demand high and inventory low, sellers are in the perfect condition to get top dollar on their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most have expected the housing market to crash following the pandemic. However, this is far from the reality of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sellers can expect home asking price growth to increase even more than it already has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest rates are low<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Another factor pushing buyers to house hunt is the historically low mortgage interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average interest rate reached a new record low of 3.07% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means buyers can save potentially tens of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The economy is on the verge of recovery<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The economy has taken a hit over the last year. With unemployment rates starting the fall, it could be a sign that people are still eager and ready to buy a home<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses are opening more and more job positions and consumers are starting to get back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means they\u2019re ready to start spending and picking up where they left off before the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers\u2019 needs have changed<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Aside from working from home, people have been spending more time at home than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which has sparked a new group of homebuyers whose current homes are no longer deemed fit to their current lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home offices, more privacy, outdoor spaces, and just more room,<\/s> in general,<\/s> are becoming more important to homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget the short commute. Buyers are wanting a space where they can work from home in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sell your home today<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Along with understanding the market conditions, you might want to understand the home selling process as it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time it takes to sell a house<\/a> is shrinking so talk to a Real Estate agent today to determine if now is the time to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
