2020 has been an interesting year for all of us and the real estate market has also seen its fair share of a shake-up. However, this summer market is HOTTER than ever! Buyer demand is sky-high and homes are flying off the market. Here’s why a sizzling summer seller’s market means for you. 

Sellers have an advantage

If you’re a seller, your home is going to get plenty of attention right now. Market inventory is still at lower than normal levels and yet the buyers are coming in droves. More buyers and fewer listings place your home in high demand, making the buyers more competitive, encouraging multiple offer scenarios. Homes are also being priced higher than in previous months. Realtor.com’s June 2020 report* shows that the median national home listing price growth accelerated by 5.1% to $342,000. 

Low mortgage rates are ramping up demand

We’ve seen some record-breaking low mortgage rates in the last few months.  and buyers are taking advantage, the ,which is helping to drive the market full steam ahead. This means that more buyers can afford homes at higher price points and are serious shoppers. By getting pre-approved by a lender before viewing homes, buyers are proving their intent and putting in offers quickly.
