To Buy or Not to Buy?

November 1, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Many folks who have wanted to buy a home over the last couple of years or so chose to wait until the heated market cooled down and for prices to come down to earth. The good news is, prices have softened somewhat, but the bad news is, interest rates are much higher. Let’s assume that you could have purchased your dream home in 2020 for $650,000 with 20% down and that you could have financed the balance with a 30-year, 3% mortgage. Your payment would have been $2,398.53 per month. Let’s also … [Read more...] about To Buy or Not to Buy?

Area Real Estate Market is Mixed

October 6, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

According to recently published statistics from the Prescott Area Association of Realtors, the area real estate market remained reasonably strong in August 2022 versus August 2021, but there are signs of weakness. For the entire market area, the sold median price versus a year ago is up 7.4%, from $437,500 to $470,000. The median days on the market went up from 11 in August 2021 to 33 in August 2022. By most measures, that would still qualify as a seller’s market, but the trend does seem to … [Read more...] about Area Real Estate Market is Mixed

Traditional Home Selling: A Time-Tested Approach

August 26, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

I wouldn’t blame consumers if they said the housing market is more confusing today than ever. There are so many new companies out there today claiming that they have a better way and that you will end up with more money if you use their service. The truth about some of those claims is starting to reach the light of day and it doesn’t always look so good for the consumer. One of the latest examples is the action the Federal Trade Commission took earlier this month against online home buying … [Read more...] about Traditional Home Selling: A Time-Tested Approach

The Housing Market: Is it a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market Now?

July 28, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

The housing market statistics in our area for the year-over-year period from the end of June 2021 to the end of June 2022 are very interesting and not what many might expect given the changes in interest rates and other economic turmoil. As one would expect, the number of total listings has increased from 605 at the end of June 2021 to 923 at the end of June 2022, an increase of 52.6%. This is truly an eye-opening statistic given the tight market through the last several years. Another … [Read more...] about The Housing Market: Is it a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market Now?

Are We Experiencing a Housing Market Shift?

July 2, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

The rising tide of inflation and interest rates are beginning to take their toll on home buyers’ and sellers’ sentiment. Fannie Mae spoke to us in May when it reported a third consecutive month of record-low homebuyer sentiment, divulging in its latest National Housing Survey that fewer than one in five Americans think now is a good time to buy a home. A disheartening 17% of the 1,000 Americans polled by Fannie Mae last month believed it was a good time to buy. Times, they are … [Read more...] about Are We Experiencing a Housing Market Shift?

May 26, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Economists at Fannie Mae have dramatically downgraded their home sales forecasts for this year and next, saying they expect a “modest recession” in the second half of next year in the face of Fed tightening and the war in Ukraine. Home sales are now expected to decline by 7.4% this year and 9.7% in 2023, a dramatic adjustment from March, when Fannie Mae forecast a 4.1% decrease in home sales this year and a 2.7% decrease in 2023 In their latest forecast,  Fannie Mae economists said the … [Read more...] about Higher Interest Rates Having an Impact on Sales and Appreciation of Homes

April 29, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

March 29, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

These days, sellers have many options. In just a few short years, it seems the options available to a homeowner who wants to sell his or her house has gone from either hire an agent or sell it yourself to so many options that most of us can’t keep up. In addition to the traditional methods, home sellers can now choose from a range of iBuyer options, discount brokerages and home-swap programs. How do you decide which option will serve you best?

When the real estate market reaches the frothy levels we have experienced over the last few years, it is safe to say most homes will sell quickly. However, does that mean you don’t need a highly qualified agent to help navigate the complexities? The high demand for real estate in this market has actually made selling or buying a house more complicated than ever.
