March momentum builds

Clover wreath on door

As we step into March, the real estate market is gearing up for the bustling spring season, showing continued resilience and balance between supply and demand. Home prices are holding steady, with subtle variations reflecting local market nuances. Housing inventory is steadily climbing, offering fresh opportunities for buyers and encouraging sellers to be proactive. Mortgage rates are projected to stay relatively stable, with experts suggesting significant drops below 6% are unlikely in the next couple of years. However, the market remains vibrant, creating opportunities for those ready to make informed decisions.

For Buyers:
The steady growth in housing inventory means greater options than we’ve seen recently, perfect for exploring as we enter the active spring market. Mortgage rates may still be elevated, but delaying action could mean missing out on ideal homes currently available. Being proactive now allows you to leverage today’s increasing choices and secure a home that meets your needs and dreams.

For Sellers:
Home values remain robust, positioning now as an optimal moment to sell, especially with inventory trending upward. By listing your home promptly, you can capture eager buyers before the typical spring surge of competition. Pricing smartly and presenting your home at its best can attract multiple interested buyers, helping you maximize your sale potential. Adaptable sellers who highlight their home’s distinct features will excel in this active environment.
