Demand Is Strong<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The latest\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/research-reports\/realtors-confidence-index\">Buyer Traffic Report<\/a><\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>from the<em>\u00a0National Association of Realtors\u00a0<\/em>(NAR) shows that buyer demand remains very strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase\u2026and are in the market right now! In fact, more often than not, multiple buyers end up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2018\/07\/02\/buying-this-summer-be-prepared-for-bidding-wars\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\">competing<\/a>\u00a0with each other to buy the same homes.<\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. There Is Less Competition Now<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Housing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/housing-statistics\/existing-home-sales\">inventory<\/a> is still under the 6-month supply needed for a normal housing market. This means that, in the majority of the country, there are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2018\/06\/18\/how-a-lack-of-inventory-impacts-the-housing-market\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\">not enough<\/a>\u00a0homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in the market. This is good news for homeowners who have gained equity as their home values have increased. However, additional inventory could be coming to the market soon!<\/p>\n<p>Historically, a homeowner stayed in his or her home for an average of six years, but that number has hovered between nine and ten years since 2011. Many homeowners have a pent-up desire to move as they were unable to sell over the last few years because of a negative equity situation. As home values continue to appreciate, more and more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2018\/03\/20\/are-you-aware-of-how-much-equity-you-have-in-your-home-you-may-be-surprised\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\">homeowners<\/a>\u00a0will be given the freedom to move.<\/p>\n<p>The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don\u2019t wait until this other inventory comes to market before you decide to sell.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. The Process Will Be Quicker<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Today\u2019s competitive environment has forced buyers to do all that they can to stand out from the crowd, including getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2018\/04\/16\/getting-pre-approved-should-always-be-your-first-step\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\">pre-approved<\/a> for their mortgage financing. This makes the entire selling process much faster and much simpler as buyers know exactly what they can afford before home shopping. According to\u00a0<em>Ellie Mae\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>latest<em>\u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/static.elliemae.com\/pdf\/origination-insight-reports\/Ellie_Mae_OIR_JULY2018.pdf\">Origination Insights Report<\/a><\/em><em>,<\/em>\u00a0the average time it took to close a loan was 44 days.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If your next move will be into a premium or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2018\/03\/19\/dreaming-of-a-luxury-home-nows-the-time\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\">luxury home<\/a>, now is the time to move up! The abundance of inventory available in these higher price ranges has created a buyer\u2019s market for anybody looking to purchase these homes. This means that if you are planning on selling a starter or trade-up home, your home will sell quickly AND you\u2019ll be able to find a premium home to call your own!<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<em>CoreLogic,<\/em> prices are projected to appreciate by 5.1% over the next year<em>.<\/em>\u00a0If you are moving to a higher-priced home, it will wind up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. It\u2019s Time to Move on With Your Life<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it is worth waiting. Is money more important than being with family? Is money more important than your health? Is money more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you feel you should?<\/p>\n<p>Only you know the answers to the questions above. You have the power to take control of the situation by putting your home on the market. Perhaps the time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>That is what is truly important.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wpematico_credit\"><small>Powered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpematico.com\" target=\"_blank\">WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are five reasons why listing your home for sale this fall makes sense. 1.
