If you’ve been thinking about buying a home, let me tell you there’s no time like the present. Seriously, right now might just be the best opportunity we’ve seen in the past five years to invest in property.
Hi, I’m Terry Tucker with eXp Realty and I am a 27-year veteran of real estate who also happens to be a digital marketing master.
Current housing data is showing that buyers have the most housing choices since 2019, so let me explain why.
First, let’s talk about interest rates. While they’ve fluctuated over the years, we’re seeing a stabilization in rates right now. Compared to the peaks of the last few years, today’s rates are giving buyers a chance to lock in affordable, long-term payments. Lower interest rates means saving thousands over the life of your loan and buyers are taking advantage of this opportunity.
Second, inventory is increasing. Over the past five years, we’ve seen sellers hold off, leading to tight markets. But now, we are seeing an influx of more homes hitting the market as confidence grows. According to the National Association of Realtors, there is currently 4.3 months supply of homes nationally. That means you as a buyer have more options to find the perfect home that fits your life style and budget. This was not possible a few years back when inventory was at its lowest levels. In fact, new listings are up 4.9% from the previous year. More inventory creates opportunities for buyers to negotiate favorable terms. Whether it’s closing costs, repairs, price reductions, buyers have more leverage today than they’ve had in years.
More importantly, let’s not forget the long-term benefits of homeownership. Real estate remains one of the most stable and rewarding investments you can make. Over the past five years, home values have risen steadily. By purchasing now, you’re setting yourself up to build equity as home values continue to rise. So, what are you waiting for? The combination of lower interest rates, increased inventory, motivated sellers, and the long-term value of holding real estate makes today an incredible time to invest and take the leap. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Reach out to me and Iet’s start your journey to homeownership today. Let me show you what inventory and pricing is available in your area.
