One thing for sure is that September 2020 will be a memorable month for all, especially for those with kindergarten to college-aged children returning to school in new and different ways. Let’s hope that this month will also bring some welcome winds of change for the better – not only in temperatures!
The housing market continues to see high demand with low interest rates; however, home values have been driven even higher because of a slow-down in new construction due to…wait for it…a lumber shortage. That’s right – when the COVID pandemic started, lumber producers started to scale back production anticipating decreased demand. Unfortunately they did not foresee the housing rebound that ensued. For home owners, this places existing homes in a positive position for their value. Unfortunately for home buyers, they are not only struggling with low inventory but now also affordability. If you are thinking of selling, it is more important now than ever to get a true analysis of your home’s value that will not only maximize your return on investment but also price it to sell.
