The housing market says “Sell NOW”, not in the spring – so if you’re thinking of selling your Sherwood area home in 2010, you may very well want to pay attention to the pulse of the market.
During what many have called the “peak season”, houses have typically sold well in late spring and midsummer. While things may seem seasonal, every market is local. Even as it relates to the upper housing criteria, much can be achieved by the ripple effect.
What it comes down to is this – supply and demand. Home buyers ultimately dictate the market and what it’s going to do. Just look at the turn we’ve seen due to the home buyer tax credit! Across the board there have been a record number of home sales in 2009. It’s clear that more homes have been moving and more quickly due to the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit and $6,500 repeat home buyer tax incentives which are not expected to slow down any in the New Year.
With affordable home prices, decent mortgage rates, and the extension and expansion of the federal tax credit, we expect first-time and repeat/move-up home buyers to drive home sales significantly in ”early” 2010, literally racing to beat the open escrow April 30th deadline, and be scheduled to close no later than June 30th.
So if you’re thinking of selling your Sherwood area home or purchasing a new one, this is a wave of opportunity you don’t want to miss! Don’t wait till spring to put your home on the market, make the best of your potential and sell now.
