Is the housing market crashing soon? That’s a negative! Not even close, and here’s why:
In 2007 (yellow highlight), roughly 4 million homes for sale with a population of 300 million people.
In 2023 (green highlight), roughly 1.08 million homes for sale with a population of 335 million people.
35 million MORE people chasing nearly 3 million LESS homes for sale. 🤔
Supply & demand is the backbone of economics. With a high demand of Buyers chasing a short supply of homes for sale, anticipate bidding wars leading to increased home prices (& values).
Add in the predictions for lower mortgage rates and you’ve got an imminent feeding frenzy ahead. If you’re planning on buying in the next year, I would heavily recommend you don’t wait until interest rates drop. Once the media starts spreading the lower interest rate news, you’ll have even more competition when trying to buy your home.
This is not sales propaganda or panic selling…it’s just basic economic principles at play. 🏠‼️
