2016: The Year to Sell Your Home!

by

New Year, New Resolutions! This year put selling your home at the top of your list. Buyer demand continues to outpace the supply of homes for sale, which is a great thing for sellers! The National Association of REALTORS®’ (NAR) Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun recently commented on the inventory shortage:

“While feedback from REALTORS® continues to suggest healthy levels of buyer interest, available listings that are move-in ready and in affordable price ranges remain hard to come by for many would-be buyers.”

What this means for you as a potential seller is a greater market for your home. The latest Existing Home Sales Report shows that there is currently a 5.1-month supply of homes for sale. This remains lower than the 6-month supply benchmark for a normal market and well below November 2014 numbers.

The chart below details the year-over-year inventory shortages experienced in 2015:

Anything less than a six-month supply is considered a “Seller’s Market”. As you can see, now is the time to sell your home and what better time to cross one of your resolutions off!  Contact one of our Shorewest, REALTORS® today for your selling needs!
