No matter where you look, inventory shortages are driving the real estate market. With fewer properties for sale, home prices have grown higher while sales periods have tightened. These conditions present tremendous opportunities for sellers, but it can be worrying for those individuals who also need to buy a new property after selling.
Thankfully, those worries can be overcome through preparation, planning and a professional like me. Here are just a few ways that home sellers can become successful buyers, too.
With homes selling quickly—sometimes in less than a couple weeks depending on your neighborhood—you’ll want to make sure you have a head-start on your next home search before yours goes up for sale.
Rates were expected to rise above 5% this year, but we’ve seen the opposite occur, with mortgage rates hitting the lowest point since November 2016. Talk to your mortgage consultant now to lock in the best rates. I’m happy to refer you to our team at Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, for assistance.
With today’s low inventory, buyers are amenable to contract contingencies that could delay closing until you purchase a new home or allow you to rent back until then. A professional Realtor like me can walk you through the contract options available to you and negotiate the most favorable terms to ensure the success of your home sale and purchase.
There are many other techniques that you can leverage to successfully sell and buy in today’s market, and I’m happy to chat with you about these best practices. Feel free to call or email me, and we can set up a meeting to talk about how to get you into a new home this fall.
Even though the internet gives you access to more home data than ever before, there are many parts of the buying process that a professional can help you navigate. Hopefully, you have been using a real estate agent to find your dream home, but if you don’t already have one, you have nothing to lose hiring a buyers agent. Having a real estate agent in your corner doesn’t cost you any more and many times having one saves you money in the long run. I can help you do a market analysis of the house and neighborhood that you are going to purchase. I know the best way to structure the offer that will increase the likelihood of your offer getting accepted.
