Real estate agent has proposed terms and conditions to customers who sign house purchase agreements with insurance, Agreement to sign the purchase contract concept
With over 2,100 houses on the market, we have over 22 weeks of inventory. Buyers are in control ― that is if your listing is over $500,000. We do have substantial inventory, but three-quarters of it is above $680,000. Only about 20 per cent of the housing inventory available in our local market is at or below the average price. We have a surplus of homes above the average price, and a shortage of homes below the average.
“Perhaps the greatest depreciation has occurred in presold new builds just coming to completion. It may take years to work through that inventory and settle the inevitable lawsuits”
The greatest contrast in our market is between new builds and resale homes. Pre-construction properties sold more than a year ago are now appraising significantly below their purchase price, breaking the financing of many buyers and straining builders beyond compare. Perhaps the greatest depreciation has occurred in pre-sold new builds just coming to completion. It may take years to work through that inventory and settle the inevitable lawsuits.
These are trying times. Affordability at all income levels is stressed to the breaking point. Now more than ever, you need very calculated and informed advice. Get experienced professional real estate agents, mortgage advisors and lawyers supporting you in your buying or selling journey.
