Here’s why this season is the ultimate sellers’ market and the optimal time to make sure your house is available for buyers who are looking for homes to purchase. The latest Existing Home Sales Report from The National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows the inventory of houses for sale is still astonishingly low, sitting at just a 2-month supply at the current sales pace. Historically, a 6-month supply is necessary for a ‘normal’ or ‘neutral’ market in which there are enough homes available for active buyers (See graph below):salisbury md realtor salisbury md real estate wicomico county real estate real estate wicomico county md long and foster real estate salisbury md sussex county real estate sussex county homes for sale sussex county houses for sale sussex county land for sale sussex county zillow sussex county mls weichert nj sussex county houses in sussex county for sale sussex county real estate mls sussex county mls listings sussex county real estate listings wicomico county real estate homes for sale in wicomico county md eastern shore real estate eastern shore homes for sale eastern shore waterfront homes for sale houses for sale eastern shore eastern shore realty eastern shore land for sale eastern shore waterfront property for sale eastern shore homes eastern shore farms for sale eastern shore realtors eastern shore real estate for sale eastern shore houses houses for sale in wicomico county md wicomico county homes for sale land for sale in wicomico county md houses for sale in wicomico county houses for sale wicomico county brandon brittingham brandon brittingham realtor brandon brittingham real estate brandon brittingham long and fosterWhen the supply of houses for sale is as low as it is right now, it’s much harder for buyers to find homes to purchase. As a result, competition among purchasers rises and more bidding wars take place, making it essential for buyers to submit very attractive offers. As this happens, home prices rise and sellers are in the best position to negotiate deals that meet their ideal terms. If you put your house on the market while so few homes are available to buy, it will likely get a lot of attention from hopeful buyers. Today, there are many buyers who are ready, willing, and able to purchase a home. Low mortgage rates and a year filled with unique changes have prompted buyers to think differently about where they live – and they’re taking action. The supply of homes for sale is not keeping up with this high demand, making now the optimal time to sell your house.

Bottom Line

Home prices are appreciating in today’s sellers’ market. Making your home available over the coming weeks will give you the most exposure to buyers who will actively compete against each other to purchase it.
