HOMEBUYER OPPORTUNITIES TODAY

There’s no arguing this past year has been challenging for homebuyers. But the market is in transition now, and that gives buyers three key opportunities:

1.  You Have More Options To Choose From

Data from Realtor.com shows inventory is up more than 29% year over year. This means you have a better chance of finding a home that suits your needs and preferences. But that doesn’t mean there’s a sudden surplus. Inventory levels are still roughly 21% lower than they were in more normal, pre-pandemic years (see graph below)

2.  There’s More New Home Construction

If you still don’t see an existing home you like, look at new home construction. According to data from the Census and NAR, 28.8% homes on the market is a newly built home. But don’t worry, that’s not because of overbuilding – builders are simply catching up after years of underbuilding.

And since builders have been focusing on smaller, more affordable homes, you can really open up your pool of options if you add new builds to your search.

3.  Home Prices Are Moderating

Home prices are showing signs of moderation – and that’s a welcome shift after the rapid appreciation seen in recent years (see graph below):
