One of the biggest questions in real estate today is, When will sellers return to the housing market? An ongoing shortage of home supply has created a hyper-competitive environment for hopeful buyers, leading to the ultimate sellers’ market. However, as the economy continues to improve and more people get vaccinated, more sellers may finally be in sight. The Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) by Fannie Mae recently noted the percentage of consumer respondents who say it’...s a good time to sell a home increased from 61% to 67%. Doug Duncan, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Fannie Mae, indicates, Consumer positivity regarding home-selling conditions nearly matched its all-time high. Fannie Mae isn’t the only expert group noticing a rise in the percentage of people thinking about selling. George Ratiu, Senior Economist at realtor.com, shares, The results of a realtor.com survey . . . showed that one-in-ten homeowners plans to sell this year, with 63 percent of those, looking to list in the next 6 months. Just as encouragingly, close to two-thirds of sellers plan to sell their homes at prices under $350,000, which would offer a tremendous boost to affordable housing for first-time buyers. If you’re considering selling your house, don’t wait for more competition to pop up in your neighborhood. DM me today to explore the benefits of selling your house now, before more homes come to the market. #Sellyourhouse #moveuphome #dreamhome #realestate #homeownership #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestateagency #realestateadvice #realestateblog #realestatemarket See more

Mortgage interest rates have dropped considerably over the past year, and compared to what we’ve seen in recent decades, it’s a great time to buy a home. Locking in a low rate today could save you thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your home loan, but these low rates may not last forever. If you’re in a position to buy a home, DM me to determine your best move in today’s housing market while interest rates are still in your favor. #buyingahome #interestrates #mortgager...ates #firsttimehomebuyer #opportunity #housingmarket #househunting #makememove #homegoals #houseshopping #housegoals #investmentproperty #emptynest #downsizing #locationlocationlocation #newlisting #homeforsale #renovated #starterhome #dreamhome #curbappeal #keepingcurrentmatters #expertanswers #purchasingpower #buyingpower #homepriceappreciation #affordability #realestate See more

If one of the questions you’re asking yourself is, Should I sell my house this year? consumer sentiment about selling today should boost your confidence in the right direction. According to the latest Home Purchase Sentiment Index from Fannie Mae, 57% of consumer respondents to their survey indicate now is a good time to buy a home, while 59% feel it’s a good time to sell one. Many still believe that, despite everything going on in the world, it is still a good time to sell... a house. Why is now a good time to sell? There simply are not enough homes available to meet today’s buyer demand, and they’re selling just as quickly as they’re coming to the market. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), unsold inventory available today sits at a 2.3-month supply at the current sales pace, which is down from a 2.5-month supply from the previous month. This record-low inventory is not even half of what we need for a normal or neutral housing market, which should have a 6.0-month supply of unsold inventory to balance out. With so few homes available for buyers to choose from, we’re in a true sellers’ market. Homeowners ready to make a move right now have the opportunity to negotiate the best possible contracts with buyers who are feeling the pull of intense competition when it comes to finding their dream home. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for NAR, notes how quickly homes are selling right now, further confirming the benefits to sellers this season. "The market is incredibly swift this winter with the listed homes going under contract on average at less than a month due to a backlog of buyers wanting to take advantage of record-low mortgage rates." If you’re ready to make a move, you can feel good about the current sentiment in the market and the advantageous conditions for today’s sellers. DM me today to determine the best next step when it comes to selling your house this year. #Sellyourhouse #moveuphome #dreamhome #realestate #homeownership #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestateagency #realestateadvice #realestateblog #realestatemarket #realestateexperts #instarealestate #instarealtor #realestatetipsoftheday #realestatetipsandadvice #justsold #keepingcurrentmatters

Friends, if you have a furnace in a closet, likely that closet has a screen ceiling and at some point rodents have made their way thru there and left a little trail because they have gotten into your attic. When you put your house up for sale clean that closet out and make sure there is no activity in the attic #meghanshigo #orangecountyrealestate #yourewelcome

As the economy recovers from this year’s health crisis, the housing market is playing a leading role in the turnaround. It’s safe to say that what we call home is taking on a new meaning, causing many of us to consider buying or selling sooner rather than later. Housing, therefore, has thrived in an otherwise down year. Today’s high buyer demand combined with low housing inventory means we’re seeing home prices appreciate at an above-average pace. This demand is being driv...en by those who want to take advantage of historically low mortgage rates. According to Freddie Mac, "The record low mortgage rate environment is providing tangible support to the economy at a critical time, as housing continues to propel growth." These factors are driving a positive impact on the economy as a whole. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the real estate industry provided $3.7 billion dollars of economic impact to the country last year. To break it down, in 2019, the average newly constructed home contributed just over $88,000 per build to local economies. Across the country, real estate clearly makes a significant impact. In addition, last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced the U.S. Gross Domestic Product increased at an annual rate of 33.1% in the 3rd quarter of this year, after decreasing by 31.4% in the second quarter. There’s no doubt the growing economy is being fueled in part by the soaring housing market. Experts forecast this housing growth to carry into 2021, continuing to make a big impact on the economy next year as well. The American Dream of homeownership has continued to thrive in the midst of this year’s economic downturn, and home has taken on a new meaning for many of us during this time. Best of all, the housing market is making a significant impact as the economy recovers. #realestate #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestateagency #realestateadvice #realestateblog #realestatemarket #realestateexperts #realestateagents #instarealestate #instarealtor #realestatetipsoftheday #realestatetipsandadvice #meghanshomes See more

Taking a time out on this blustery Sunday.

BUYERS BENEFIT FROM LOW MORTGAGE RATES AND A BIGGER PLAYING FIELD Don’t worry, homebuyers. This new normal of real estate has benefits for you. For example, people used to base their next home purchase on how far the commute was to work or in which public school district it was. But now, thanks to the pandemic shifting the locus of jobs and work, they are free to consider what they need from a home to make it a place they truly want to be in as they work, teach, exercise, c...ook, and live. Often, this equates to needing more space in different types of areas. Realtor.com consumer surveys show that people are desiring quieter neighborhoods, home offices, updated kitchens, and access to the great outdoors. The search for these criteria is driving residents out of densely populated metropolitan areas and into the suburbs. And this exodus from cities is good news for buyers: it opens up more possibilities for inventory that they could not have considered pre-pandemic. Another advantage for buyers is the record-low mortgage rates. The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage hit a record low in mid-October when rates fell to 2.81%. That’s the lowest since Freddie Mac began conducting the survey in 1971, and well below last year’s 3.69%. Similarly, a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage can be had for as low as 2.35% compared to 3.15% a year ago. Thanks to these rates, buyers are afforded the opportunity to buy nearly $32,000 more home than they could one year ago, while keeping their monthly payment the same. So even though home prices are high now, it is currently more affordable to buy a home now than it was last year. If you want to take advantage of these rock-bottom mortgage rates, you need to act fast. Though rates are projected to stay low, housing economists predict that the window of opportunity to get the best rate could be closing in the coming months. Mike Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association, said he expects the average rate on a 30-year mortgage to rise to 3.5% by the end of 2021. #realestate #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #meghanshomes See more

Americans have decided our President for the next four years. That decision will have a major impact on many aspects of life in this country, but the residential real estate market will not be one of them for four reasons: >>Demand Is Strong among Millennials The nation's largest generation began entering the housing market last year as they reached the age to marry and have children - two key drivers of homeownership. As the Wall Street Journal recently reported, Millennial...s, long viewed as perennial home renters who were reluctant or unable to buy, are now emerging as a driving force in the U.S. housing market’s recent recovery. >>Mortgage Rates Are Historically Low All-time low interest rates are also driving demand across all generations. Strong demand created by this rate drop has countered other economic disruptions (e.g., pandemic, recession, record unemployment). In addition, Freddie Mac just forecasted mortgage rates to remain low through next year. >>Prices Continue to Appreciate The continued lack of supply of existing homes for sale coupled with the surge in buyer demand has experts forecasting strong price appreciation over the next twelve months. >> History Says So Though it’s true that the market slows slightly in November when it’s a Presidential election year, the pace returns quickly. There’s no doubt this is one of the most contentious Presidential elections in our nation’s history. The outcome will have a major impact on many sectors of the economy. However, as Matthew Speakman, an economist at Zillow, explained last week, While the path of the overall economy is likely to be most directly dictated by coronavirus-related and political developments in the coming months, recent trends suggest that the housing market which has basically withstood every pandemic-related challenge to this point will continue its strong momentum in the months to come. #Election2020 #realestate #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestateagency #realestateadvice #realestateblog #realestatemarket #realestateexperts #realestateagents #meghanshigo
