In this podcast Alex Ganea covers 4 different reasons as to why we’re experiencing this type of market.

1 Scarcity for sellers

Sellers are in a great position to sell their home and make quite a bit of money due to everyone seeing an increase in equity. Bloomberg released an article on December 9th in 2021 stating that the average American saw an equity increase of $56,700 in 2021.

However great the opportunity is to sell; sellers are more concerned about the buying of a house after the fact since inventory is so low!

2 PTSD of 2008 and the crash of the market

Many homeowners that lived through the 2008 crash are concerned that we are in another housing bubble and that it’ll eventually burst. Head over to our blog and read, “4 Simple Graphs Showing Why This is Not a Housing Bubble”.

3 Supplies and Prices for Supplies to Build New Homes

With rising inflation plus supply and demand putting an even higher price tag on things such as lumber and other materials to build houses, builders are struggling to build in time and for a sellable price.

4 Greed of Timing the Market

No matter how many of tried what usually happens is that people buy or sell on the way up or on the way down in the housing market, never at the peak. Do your due diligence and research, yes! Make sure it’s a good deal, great! But also look at the reality. The market won’t hold at this level forever. Look at the possibility that if you don’t pull out your equity now, you may be waiting another 5-7 years before this opportunity arises again. Buyers, housing prices are rising as are interest rates. If you can lock in a rate now, you’re set until the next uptick in the market!

"I can list my home for $50,000 over its value and still sell in 4 days, right?!" Wrong!

Today Cynthia Upp walks us through the importance of pricing your home correctly and having a strategy to sell quickly.

In the past two years, many may have listed as explained above and still sold, which is great, but we're starting to see apprehension from buyers and appraisers.

It is better to price correctly the first time and get multiple offers to choose from rather than list high and have to do a price change. Price changes often push buyers to believe there is something wrong with the home when in reality it may just be that it was priced too high, to begin with!
