Typically August is the best time of the year to buy a house. There’s usually plenty of inventory, and it’s the time when sellers are lowering prices before fall begins. Suffice it to say, 2020 is unlike any typical year we have ever seen before – all the way around. What’s different this year is a mixture of little inventory with record-low mortgage rates. Add to that willing buyers who have not been impacted financially by the COVID-19 pandemic and the result has been an actual boost to median home prices. As such, the U.S. housing market has been recently referred to by economists as “a shining star in the economic recovery.” If you are thinking of selling, now might be a good time to make the most from your biggest investment, so be sure to call me today for a free, personalized analysis of your home’s current value: (919) 291-5704
