The New Normal: A Strong Flagstaff Housing Market Expected to Continue into 2021

Kelly Broaddus  |  eXp Realty  |  888.446.5602  | Contact Kelly

 

 A Strong Housing Market Expected to Continue into 2021

 

“2020 will be known for a lot of things, and a record-breaking year for real estate will certainly be one of its more unexpected legacies,” prominent economist Daryl Fairweather said.1 And he’s right: most of us would have expected the housing market to suffer from circumstances like a once-in-a-hundred-years pandemic and historic inventory shortages.

 

But, rather than a slowdown, we are continuing to experience a surprisingly robust real estate market across the country. And experts estimate that these conditions are likely to last well into the new year. Fannie Mae Senior VP and Chief Economist Doug Duncan predicts that existing home sales will ultimately “be up a percent or more in 2021.” He believes home prices will continue to rise due to limited inventory, but he is confident the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates low into the future, which will be “very good for households.”2

 

Market conditions like fewer available listings, changing criteria for desired homes, and record-low mortgage rates are changing the way people buy and sell homes, most likely in a lasting way. But this sustained activity, even in the uncertainty that is 2020, proves that our country still views real estate as a sound investment. The only question now is how you can take advantage of the housing market’s “new normal.”

 

FEWER LISTINGS EQUALS A SELLER’S MARKET

FEWER LISTINGS EQUALS A SELLER’S MARKET

           

Inventory, meaning the number of homes for sale, is at a record low across the country. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports there are fewer homes on the market today than the association has seen in data going all the way back to 1982.3 Currently, the total housing inventory is about 1.47 million units, which is a decline of 19.2% from one year ago.4

 

Experts do predict some relief on the horizon. MarketWatch had previously anticipated housing starts would occur at a pace of 1.45 million and building permits would come in at a pace of 1.52 million.5 But it turns out that the market exceeded expectations: compared with last year, housing starts are up 11% and permitting for new homes occurred at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 1.55 million. That represents a 5% increase from August and an 8% increase from a year ago.

 

For now, the fact that there are fewer listings creates an advantageous housing market for sellers. There are several reasons why.

 

For one, buyers have to act fast to snap up available homes. As a result, most properties that come on the market stay for an average of just 21 days before they are sold.6 “That is the fastest ever recorded in our monthly series,” says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.

 

Another benefit is that sellers are enjoying higher net returns on their listings. This is thanks to the tough competition for homes, which often results in bidding wars between buyers. Nationwide, the median home price in September rose to $311,800. That translates to about $40,000 (15%) more than just a year ago.7

Should I renovate before I sell

 

This seller’s market is not simply a product of the pandemic. In fact, in the country’s top 100 metro markets, inventory has been dwindling since the first quarter of 2020.8 This means that even with increased construction, buyers can’t simply wait for things to go back to normal before reentering the market. Rather, all signs indicate that this is the new normal.

 

 

What It Means for Flagstaff Homeowners:

These higher home prices show that buyers are willing to spend more on a home right now than they did last year. So, if there ever were a time to list for top dollar—and expect to receive asking price quickly—that time is now. Ask us for a free consultation of your home’s value today.

 

 

What It Means for Flagstaff Homebuyers:

Due to low inventory, buyers could easily find themselves in a bidding war. Time is of the essence in a seller’s market, so you’ll need to get your financing in order and be preapproved for a loan before you begin your home search. We can connect you with a trusted mortgage professional to get you started.

 

 

BUYERS BENEFIT FROM LOW MORTGAGE RATES AND A BIGGER PLAYING FIELD

 

Don’t worry, Flagstaff homebuyers. This “new normal” of real estate has benefits for you too.

 

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 home to make it a place they truly want to be in as they work, teach, exercise, cook, 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.9 The search for these criteria is driving residents out of densely populated metropolitan areas and into the suburbs.10 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%.11 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.12 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 2021.13

 

 

What It Means for Northern Arizona Homeowners:

Record-low mortgage rates offer you the opportunity to lower your monthly payment—or even take out some equity—with a refinance. With those additional funds, you could even choose to invest in a second home in a new desirable location. Reach out to us for a referral to a trusted mortgage professional or an agent in those markets.

 

 

What It Means for Northern Arizona Homebuyers:

The time is now to determine how much home you can comfortably afford and make a plan to find it. We can set up a search for you to find homes that best meet your new needs, even if they’re in neighborhoods you wouldn’t have considered before.

 

 

A RECORD-SETTING YEAR FOR HOME SALES IS JUST THE BEGINNING

 

Despite the seemingly adverse buyer conditions, 2020 experienced a 14-year high number of home sales, NAR reports. Existing-home sales, which include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, rose 9.4% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.54 million.14 That’s a 21% increase from a year ago!

 

Every region of the country has seen a surge in sales activity. According to George Ratiu, senior economist for Realtor.com, part of the reason for these continued sales is that the pandemic has created a paradigm shift in the patterns of real estate.15 For example, housing needs are typically resolved by late summer and early fall to coincide with the commencement of the new school year. With homeschooling and remote work, however, buyers have been freed to continue their home search into the traditionally slow winter months.

 

Another reason for the robust market is that Millennials are finally putting their money into homeownership. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the homeownership rate for 25-to-34-year-olds rose to 40.7% by the end of last year.16 This is significant because Millennials, the generation of people in their mid-20s to late-30s, currently surpasses Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living adult generation. As the remaining percentage of this group starts investing in homes in the near future, demand will persist.

 

All of these factors indicate that the housing market is poised to remain strong as we head into the new year. And as Jonathan Woloshin, head of U.S. real estate at UBS Global Wealth Management, believes, they could “buoy the housing market for years to come.”17

 

 

What It Means for Flagstaff/Sedona Homeowners:

It’s tempting to believe that homes will basically sell themselves in a market like this. But we’re still seeing properties that are overpriced and under-marketed sit unsold. We can help you optimize the process of selling your home so you can get the best possible offer.

 

 

What It Means for Flagstaff/Sedona Homebuyers:

Preparation is key to success in a seller’s market like this, but don’t let yourself become paralyzed. We are here to answer your questions and offer sound advice to guide you through all the options that are available to you.

 

 

REAL ESTATE IS A SAFE BET

 

Your other investments might have been on roller coasters this year, but the Flagstaff real estate market has been steady, competitive, and strong throughout. That makes it a good choice for your financial future.

 

National real estate numbers can give us a pulse on the market, but real estate happens in our own backyard. As your local market experts, we can help you understand the finer points of the Greater Flagstaff market that impact sales and home values in your own neighborhood. 

 

If you’re considering buying or selling a home in Flagstaff or Sedona (or nearby areas!) before the new year or in early 2021, contact us now to schedule a free consultation. We’ll work with you to develop an actionable plan to meet your goals.

2020 Flagstaff Real Estate Market Watch Total Single Family Home Sales -   196 homes, up 47% vs September 2019. 

Median Sold Price -  $487,000, up 15% vs Sept 2019

The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property has to be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if it is listed by a different agent. We report the average days on market for properties sold based on CDOM.

The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced.

Flagstaff Home Buyer Advice

Many people are eager to buy a home right now while affordability continues to be a highlight of the current housing market. However, a recent survey by Sparks Research shows that 20% of first-time homebuyers cite a lack of financial education as a barrier to homeownership. This is definitely understandable. If you don’t feel comfortable with the financial process of buying a home, it’s hard to make a confident decision. In fact, four in five homebuyers say they need help to understand what they can even afford in the first place. This is why finding the right professionals to help you through the process is so important.

Homebuyer Guide Fall 2020On top of that, the same survey reports over two-thirds of prospective home buyers believe they’ll need assistance to save enough for a down payment. What they may not realize is that there are a lot of down payment assistance programs at the state and regional levels, and many of them have funds available for potential buyers. Down Payment Resources recently released its Q3 2020 Homeownership Program Index, which explains:

“The number of total programs is 2,340, and over 81 percent (81.1%) of programs currently have funds available for eligible homebuyers.”

Down Payment Assistance Programs Are Not Only for First-Time Homebuyers

Keep in mind, these programs aren’t just for first-time homebuyers, so it’s worth exploring your options no matter where you are in your homeownership journey. For example, if you’re working from home now, you may be thinking of relocating to a more affordable area where you can stretch your dollar further and have more space, inside and out. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR), explains:

“Rural areas have mortgages (USDA loans) that don’t require down payments; and some workers who can work from home may want to consider outer suburbs or small towns where USDA home loans are available and where homes are very affordable.”

If affordability is on your mind and you’re expecting to be working from home long-term, the right home may be in an area you haven’t considered yet. In addition, the assistance program you need might be within reach too.

If you’re interested in learning more about down payment assistance programs, additional information is available through Down Payment Resource. We can help you decide which option is best for you personally. Let’s connect today to get you started on the path to your dream home.

Flagstaff Home Seller Advice 

 

The housing market has continued its booming recovery, and sellers continue to benefit. But things might be changing soon. Let me give you the details:

Demand still outpaces supply by a lot. 

The only thing that's holding sales back is a lack of homes on the market. Inventory of homes for sale in the US is down 18.6% annually to a three-month supply. For reference, the last time that sales were this robust, the supply of homes was twice as high.

Home prices continue to rise.

Unsurprisingly, this mismatch between supply and demand has pushed home prices to new record highs. The price of a median home is up 11.4% annually. Also, homes are now going under contract after just 14 days on average, which is 14 days faster than one year ago.  

Home Seller Guide Fall 2020More homes on the market soon?

Of course, high demand and record prices benefit sellers tremendously. But there's a third aspect of the market that might spoil the party. Right now, the number of seriously delinquent mortgages is growing quickly. Many homeowners are struggling to make their payments during the economic problems caused by the pandemic. However, with current high home prices and low mortgage rates, the vast majority of these homeowners have equity in their homes. 

This means they could sell their home instead of being forced into foreclosure. The upshot is we might see a flood of new homes for sale on the market soon.

 

So what does this mean for you?

Well, if you've been thinking about selling, you might consider taking action now. The reason is the current golden moment. Demand is high, and homes are selling quickly and for top dollar. However, with the chance of many more homes for sale hitting the market, that might change soon.

In other words, we might see supply match demand, so prices start to stagnate and buyers get more choosy. That's why it's a good idea to at least look at your options right now. If you are considering selling your home, you can start by simply finding out what you could get for it in the current hot market.

5 Secrets Buyers and Sellers Must Know About Virtual Home Tours

 

For years now, virtual home tours have helped real estate buyers far and wide find the perfect home. From long-distance military personnel being relocated to investors expanding their portfolio to homeowners looking for a vacation getaway, this technology makes finding a house that’s a bit out of driving distance much easier. And for real estate agents, virtual tours have been a useful way to help buyers with their home search and to assist sellers in creatively marketing their listings.

 

Because of the pandemic, virtual home showing options recently experienced a huge spike in popularity. One survey found that nearly 33% of recent home tour requests were for virtual tours, as compared to just 2% pre-pandemic.1 And it’s easy to see why.

 

Buyers want to quickly find their next safe haven, one that may need to serve as their office, gym, and even classroom for months to come. And sellers want to limit the number of strangers in their home, yet still have the ability to reach enough potential buyers to get the best offer on their property.

 

Virtual home tours are the popular thing right now, but that doesn’t automatically mean they’re the only option for your home buying or selling experience. In this post, we’ll reveal five important secrets behind the virtual real estate scene. Read on to learn how they impact today’s home buyers and sellers.

 

SECRET #1: Virtual Tours Have Evolved

Lots of real estate professionals who had never used virtual tours before we're forced to quickly adapt when the pandemic struck. Because of restrictions on time and resources, not everyone is able to create what would have been deemed a “virtual tour” last year. So instead, we’ve expanded the definition of the phrase by creating innovative new ways to show homes while keeping our clients safe and socially-distanced. Here are some terms you might come across as you explore homes with virtual tours.

 

Traditional virtual tours use 360° Photos, which are images that allow you to see all angles of space. These are what allow virtual tour viewers to look up, down, and all around the interior and exterior shots of a home. Using a software program, 360° photos can be stitched together to create a digital model that looks like a dollhouse. This is called a 3D Tour. Sometimes agents will also add Virtual Staging, which decorates rooms with digital furniture and accents like wallpaper or paint.

 

Traditional virtual tours allow you to click to move from room to room in the home, but Online Walkthroughs feature the actual act of walking around. Either the seller or the agent (depending on factors such as time and safety requirements) will create a video by holding their camera or smartphone and simply moving through the home.

 

Online Walkthroughs can be filmed in advance or happen live. If they are live, they can also be referred to as Virtual Showings or Online Open Houses. A Virtual Showing is often a scheduled, one-on-one event that mimics an in-person tour of the home, in which the agent and viewer start at the exterior and move their way through the property. If your agent offers to FaceTime or Skype you from a home you’re interested in, for example, that would be a type of Virtual Showing. In contrast, an Online Open House is more freeform, allowing more viewers to pop in and out of a group video call on apps such as Facebook or Zoom.

 

 

SECRET #2: Virtual Doesn’t Mean Impersonal

Virtual Doesnt Mean Impersonal in Real Estate

All these styles of virtual tours showcase the property’s details better than static photos ever could. But for purchase as intimate as your next home, details like a new refrigerator or the size of the master closet aren’t the only deciding factors. Luckily, virtual tours are exceptional tools for personal connection.

 

As a prospective buyer, virtual tours give you a feel for the property, inside and out, so you can easily picture yourself in the space and decide if the home’s flow and features work for your lifestyle. Live video walkthroughs with the real estate agent will give you insights on those crucial non-visual aspects, like creaky floors, super-fast internet speed, and neighborhood dynamics. Plus, you’ll be able to ask questions and get an insider’s perspective on what’s so great about the home.

 

For Flagstaff home sellers, if your agent recommends using a virtual tour to market your home, you could attract more buyers.2 And you can be sure that those interested buyers are still getting the up-close and personal look inside your home that will inspire their strongest offers.

 

 

SECRET #3: Virtual Is Just The First Step To Safe Home Sales

Even as government restrictions begin to ease in some areas, virtual tours are still recommended as a safer way to buy and sell real estate.3 Buyers don’t have to worry about exposure to anyone who previously visited the property, and sellers cut down on the foot traffic in their home. Some data even suggest that virtual tours keep agents safer as well since they’re hosting fewer in-person showings and open houses.4

 

But despite the variety of virtual tours available, some Northern Arizona buyers will still need to visit a home themselves in order to feel confident enough to submit an offer. In this situation, listing agents and sellers will work together to come up with a procedure that ensures everyone feels safe and comfortable. Some recommendations include requiring interested buyers to present a pre-qualification letter, conducting tours only by appointment and with essential parties, and asking buyers to self-disclose whether they have COVID-19 or exhibit any symptoms.3

 

The day of the in-person tour, agents might ask buyers to remain in their vehicle until they arrive at the property and to wear protective gear such as face coverings and gloves. Many will provide hand sanitizer and will ask buyers to refrain from touching any surfaces in the home. Instead, the agent (or seller, prior to the buyers’ arrival) will turn on lights, open doors, and pull back curtains. Then, after everyone has left, the agent will return the home to its original state and disinfect it as needed.3

 

 

SECRET #4: The Speed of Closing Depends on Your Goals

Though maybe not literally, virtual tours are opening doors for both buyers and sellers in terms of options available to them. In 2019, buyers viewed an average of 10 homes over a period of 10 weeks before submitting an offer.5 But thanks to an increased prevalence of virtual tours saving them driving time, they’re able to peek inside that number of homes in a much shorter period to make their final choice.

 

With all this viewing activity, it makes sense that sellers whose listings feature virtual tours are receiving more offers on their properties. According to one study, virtual tours can add between two and three percent to the sales price of a home, in part because increased buyer interest has made sellers feel confident waiting for the exact right offer.2

 

So if you’re a Flagstaff/Sedona home buyer luxuriating in viewing homes from your couch, just remember that you’re not alone in your search. Your competition is virtually viewing the same properties you are, so it’s still important to work with your real estate agent to quickly submit a strong offer when you find the home of your dreams. And for sellers, if a speedy sale is important to you, carefully weigh that against the temptation to entertain more and more offers, which can keep your home on the market up to six percent longer.2 Your agent can help you decide the right strategy for your priorities.

 

 

SECRET #5: Virtual May Not Always Be the Right Choice

Creating, editing, uploading, and marketing virtual tours for a listing can be pricey. Packages through popular 3D imaging platforms like Matterport and Immoviewers can cost hundreds of dollars on their own.6 Virtual staging will further bloat a listing’s marketing budget, and then there are the advertising dollars needed. Even seemingly inexpensive options like video call walkthroughs still require time and energy on behalf of both the seller and agent.

 

These costs mean that a full virtual tour package might not always be the right choice for sellers. When you talk to your agent about marketing your home, it may be that an elaborate virtual tour, showing, and the open house just doesn’t make sense. It could be that your potential buyers may not resonate with that type of marketing, that the investment-to-return ratio isn’t in your favor, or that there are more effective ways to get your listing seen by qualified buyers.

 

Flagstaff buyers, you may notice that some listings within your search parameters don’t offer virtual tours. That’s because those for-sale homes might not have needed a full virtual marketing package to entice buyers to submit offers, or those homes are better marketed through more traditional tactics. Don’t close the door on your dream home because it doesn’t have virtual events and features. Stay open-minded so you can consider the wealth of home options that fit your lifestyle, needs, and budget.

 

 

 

ARE VIRTUAL HOME TOURS IN YOUR FUTURE?

 

As technology develops, it will become easier and cheaper to create virtual tours. Coupled with the high demand for them, this means that virtual tour options are likely not only here to stay, but will continue to grow into a common addition to listings.

 

If buying or selling a home in Northern Arizona is on your mind, we’d be happy to discuss how virtual tours can play a part in your real estate experience. Reach out to us today at 888.446.5602 or email kelly.broaddus@exprealty.com for help finding Flagstaff/Sedona homes for sale that have virtual tours, or to chat about if adding a virtual tour to your upcoming listing is the right fit.

 August Flagstaff Home Sales Sizzle Amid Low Inventory, Rising Prices 

 

Despite the season change, the housing market continues to sizzle. According to the most recent National Association of Realtors Housing Report, August was a record-setting month for home sales. Fall is typically the time of year when we start talking about the housing market taking a breather, but it's still showing no sign of cooling off. Here's the latest update on Flagstaff real estate.

 

FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES

The US existing home sales jump to near 14-year high in August marking three consecutive months of significant gains. Greater Flagstaff's housing sales have slowed down by 12% compared to last month, however,  it rose 24% from the same period last year.  There were 259 houses sold in August, the most in 14 years. A big contributor to the strength in our real estate market is mortgage rates which recently hit all-time lows. 

August 2020 Flagstaff Home Sales by Type

 

In the month of August, our kelly Broaddus Real Estate Advisors team hit a record of 13 homes, selling over $4M of Flagstaff and nearby area real estate.

 

FLAGSTAFF MEDIAN HOME PRICE

"The median US existing-home price2 for all housing types in August was $310,600, up 11.4% from August 2019 ($278,800), as prices rose in every region. August’s national price increase marks 102 straight months of year-over-year gains." - NAR 

Flagstaff home prices have gone up to $505,000 from July 2020 when the median sold price of $480,000. This is 28% higher from a year ago with the median sale price coming in at $394K, setting a new August monthly price high.

Aug 2020 Flagstaff Market Watch Summary

 

2020 Flagstaff Real Estate Market Watch Total Single Family Home Sales -   184 homes, up 44% vs Aug 2019. 

Median Home Price -  $505,000, up 28% vs Aug 2019

Average Mortgage rates  - 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose 3.13% on Aug 31. Mortgage rates change daily but they remain very competitive and are worth locking in.

Longest days on market (SF): 5,253  This is a 5-bedroom luxury custom new build home in Flagstaff Ranch's Aspen Shadows. Property owners in Flagstaff Ranch must purchase either a Golf ($60,000) or Social Membership($30,000).

CDOM The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property has to be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if it is listed by a different agent. We report the average days on market for properties sold based on CDOM.

The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced.

Flagstaff Home Buyer Advice

Mortgage rates keep dropping, but should you go for it? Could rates continue to drop? If you are looking to buy or refinance your mortgage, should you wait to scoop up an even better deal in the months to come?

In theory, rates could indeed continue to go lower—all the way down to 0%. That's never been seen here in the U.S. However, it's a current reality in other countries, such as Denmark and Finland. Such a scenario is unlikely to happen here. It would require the Fed to make its rates negative, and keep them there for years. That's something Fed executives said they are opposed to.

Still, even if rates don't go all the way to 0%, they still might go lower than they are now. Several mortgage brokers have offered rates as low as 1.99% recently. However, you need to be careful if you see such offers. The ultra-low mortgage rates that have been offered recently all came with very high upfront costs, which tacked on thousands of dollars right out of the gate.

The fact is, when considering a new mortgage, it’s important to look at several factors. These include the interest rate, upfront costs, and monthly payments. Sometimes, it might be better to get a loan with a slightly higher interest rate in exchange for lower costs.

So what does all this mean for you?

Well, current mortgage rates are the lowest on record and are far below anything ever seen in the real estate market. These low rates are making homes more affordable. While there is a chance that rates will go still lower, there is also a chance that this is as good as it gets. Additionally, many of the lower rates that are popping up aren't as good as they seem at first blush. That's why I think it makes sense to consider taking advantage of the current low rates.

Of course, this is a complex question. It makes sense to enlist the help of a good lender because they can help you get the best possible rate with the best-attached conditions. If you are looking for financing, give me a call at 928.606.6749. I know and work with several top lenders I can recommend. They can guide you through this complex issue and help you come out the other end with the best possible solution.

If you are just considering buying, take a look at some of the beautiful homes that recently came on the Flagstaff market.

Flagstaff Home Seller Advice 

This August, nearly a third of renters were unable to pay rent. Likewise, a growing number of homeowners are falling behind on mortgage payments. These are lingering effects of the economic lockdown surfacing now because unemployment benefits and various mortgage forbearance programs are coming to an end. That's why experts predict a rise in defaults and evictions, which is likely to wash over the entire market in the coming weeks and months.

What does this mean for you? Well, if you have been thinking of selling, now might be a golden moment. The supply of Greater Flagstaff homes for sale in August further declined from last month to under 3 months, we were at 5.88 a year ago. A severe lack of homes for sale means you could sell in record time, and since low mortgage rates are making homes more affordable, you could get top dollar for your home.

A normal market would have 6-7 months of inventory. Anything under six months would indicate a sellers’ market, which would put upward pressure on prices. It's a seller's market for Flagstaff homes except in 1 high-end price range. 

However, the situation could change things quickly. We could see an influx of new homes for sale on the market this fall, which would drive down prices and put us into a buyer’s market, with many homes sitting for months while buyers pick and choose among them.

If you are considering selling your home, you can start by simply finding out what you could get for it in the current hot market.
