We’ve collectively come to realize that things are not going to go back to ‘normal’ any time soon. With th effects of COVID-19 still pressing on our lifestyle choices and demands, many potential home buyers are no longer waiting for change, but instead have accepted that the ‘new way’ we live makes home buying more attractive than ever before and being in a warm, sunny, state like Florida is appealing for multiple reasons.
The interest rate has been extremely low, and although researchers predict an increase, that will still be nominal compared to years past. Home inventory’s are also still quite low; throughout the entire country, with approximately only 500,000 homes available, but that number is expected to increase as well. Many homeowners that have been on the fence about selling are ready to do so now. The reason or motive behind selling are unique to each individual, of course, but they are typically due to making a notable profit on home sales, moving into a larger, more spacious home, or for seniors, downsizing or moving into a senior community.
Supply and demand is expected to even out more in 2021 than we saw in 2020, for the sheer fact that people realize that working and spending time at home is not going to change much. Even though we are expected to see a significant amount of people getting the vaccine by the year’s end, we still have a ways to go to see real change, which could take years. Despite this optimistic look, we as a country and the world are going to see the virtual opportunities arise and the true staying power of technological advances.
Bidding wars are still presumed to grow, so if you are interested in buying, you need to be prepared to purchase. You must know your price range, and it’s optimal to have preapproval for your loan or funding. If you see a home you love, you don’t want to miss out.
If you are interested in buying or selling, it’s imperative that you seek out a realtor that knows the area, the comps in your area of interest, and one that can leverage potential buyers with specific needs and desires.
The great news is that sellers are becoming more and more interested in selling their homes for multiple reasons at all price levels. If you need or want to move, Nardi Realty can find you the perfect opportunity for your new home that suits your specific needs. The most crucial tip these days is to be prepared to buy. Know what you’re approved for and have funds available for your deposit.
We don’t know how long this boom will last, but Nardi Realty is here for you to help you make these decisions now before there is a change in the market.
