Housing Inventory a Year Later

What a Difference a Year Makes for Housing Inventory

Over the last few years, many sellers have been hesitant to put their houses on the market because they feared not being able to find another home to buy. We’ve reported on housing inventory shortages in the past, and it’s been a constant concern for potential buyers throughout recent years. New research shows the inventory concern is starting to decrease among potential buyers.

According to First American, the two leading obstacles to homeownership that buyers feel today are Affordability and Limited Housing Inventory. This means the feeling that homes are less affordable has risen, while the fear of limited inventory has decreased, delivering a wealth of good news for sellers.

At the same time, over the past 12 months, we’ve seen a steady month-over-month increase in the number of homes coming to market for purchase. In the past, the lack of listings and available inventory slowed down the real estate market. This recent increase in current inventory has many buyers and sellers now thinking it is time to make their move – and rightfully so! For the last two months, we’ve seen over 4 months of inventory become available for sale, a promising number that’s been slowly increasing this year and creating more buying opportunities.

To further support the idea of an improving real estate market, Sam Khater, the Chief Economist at Freddie Mac says,

“…In the near-term, we expect the housing market to continue to improve from both a sales and price perspective.”

Many experts, like Sam, believe the second half of 2019 will drive a stronger market than we saw at the beginning of the year. This is great news for homeowners who have put off getting their houses on the market and are now ready to make a move.

So, what a difference we’ve seen over the course of this year! If you’re thinking of selling, now is the time as inventory is on the rise.

Should I Refinance My Home?

With the recent lower interest rates, many homeowners are wondering if they should refinance. There are several factors to consider such as how long you plan to stay in your home and how much are the refinancing costs?

To decide if refinancing is the best option for your family, start by asking yourself these questions:

Why do you want to refinance?

There are many reasons to refinance, but here are three of the most common ones:

Lower your interest rate and payment – This is the most popular reason. If you have a 5% interest rate or higher, it might be worth seeing if you can take advantage of the current lower interest rates, hovering below 4%, to reduce your monthly payment and overall cost of the loan.
Shorten the term of your loan – If you have a 30-year loan, it may be advantageous to change it to a 15 or 20-year loan to pay off your mortgage sooner.
Cash-out refinance – With home prices increasing, you might have enough equity to cash out and invest in something else, like your children’s education, a vacation home, or a new business.

Once you know why you might want to refinance, ask yourself the next question:

How much is it going to cost?

There are fees and closing costs involved in refinancing, and Lenders Network explains:

“If you were to refinance that loan into a new loan, total closing costs will run between 2%-4% of the loan amount.”

They also explain that there are options for no-cost refinance loans, but be on the lookout:

“A no-cost refinance loan is when the lender pays the closing costs for the borrower. However, you should be aware that the lender makes up this money from other aspects of the mortgage. Usually pay charging a slightly higher interest rate so they can make the money back.”

If you’re comfortable with the costs of refinancing, then ask yourself one more question:

Is it worth it?

To answer this one, we’ll use an example. Let’s assume you have a $200,000 home loan. A 4% refinance cost will be $10,000. If you want to lower your interest rate from 6% to 4%, then refinancing is going to save you $244 per month. To break even ($10,000/$244), you need to continue owning your home for over 40 months.

Now that you know how the math shakes out, think about how much longer you’d like to own your current home. If you plan to stay for more than 3 years, then maybe it is advantageous for you to refinance.

If, however, your current home does not fulfill your present needs, you might want to consider using your potential refinance costs for a down payment on a new move-up home. You will still get a lower interest rate than the one you have on your current house, and with the equity you’ve already built, you can finally purchase the home of your dreams.

So, there are many opportunities for growth in the current real estate market. To find out what’s right for your family, let’s get together to help you understand your options and guide you toward the best decision.

Overall, the latest real estate trends for the top private golf communities in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero or Fort Myers show the market for luxury properties has several golf communities which have a healthy supply of inventory or they have an oversupply of inventory and therefore would be considered a great buying opportunity. This is also the case with single-family homes in the top golf communities in Southwest Florida. Whether you are considering a single-family home or a condo in a luxury golf community, inventory levels vary by community. A healthy level of inventory is between 6-7 months of supply of properties available. Since each community varies we recommend you use a real estate agent familiar with golf communities to navigate your way through your options.

Here are a couple of examples for why it is important to have a good understanding of the community and whether the inventory levels are healthy, or have high or low supply. Bonita Bay only has 25 single-family homes on the market and only 4.84 months supply of inventory which makes single-family homes in this community a seller’s market. On the flip side, if you were looking for a condo in Pelican Landing at The Colony, there’s over a 13 month supply of condos available making it a buyer’s market.

Also, Both Collier’s Reserve and Mediterra continue to be Luxury Golf Communities with more than 15 months supply of inventory. So, if your a luxury home buyer, now would be a great time to look at property in either community since such a large number of months worth of supply means there should be room for negotiating a great price. Contact us today to help identify the best Southwest Florida golf community for you and your family to consider to ensure the best return on your investment.

Is Homeownership a Good Investment?

Americans’ Powerful Belief in Homeownership as an Investment

I’m often asked if homeownership is a good investment compared to other options such as stocks or bonds. While the answer depends on the person, according to the latest survey by the Federal Reserve Bank (The Fed), 65% of Americans believe homeownership is a good investment. View full survey…2019 Survey of Consumer Expectations Housing Survey

Since 2014, the percentage of Americans who see homeownership as a good investment has increased by over nine percent.

The Fed’s survey also showed that when the results are broken down by age, education, income, or region of the country, more than 55% of Americans in each category see homeownership as a good investment.

This coincides with a recent Gallup survey of Americans which revealed that real estate was their number one choice for the best long-term investment when compared to stocks, savings accounts or gold.

So, Americans’ belief in residential real estate as a good financial investment continues to grow as the housing market returns to normalcy.

4 Tips to Sell Your Home Faster

How do you sell your home faster? Since June of last year, we have seen an increase in the inventory of homes for sale month per month. Every spring and summer, the inventory increases because people want to sell their home. For those with children, they may want to be in their new home for the beginning of the school year.

If you are one of those sellers, you may find these 4 tips helpful in selling your home faster.

1. Make buyers feel at home

Declutter your home! Pack away all personal items like pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings. Make them feel like they belong in this house! According to the Profile of Home Staging by the National Association of Realtors,

“83% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.”

Not only will your house spend less time on the market, but the same report mentioned that,

“One-quarter of buyers’ agents said that staging a home increased the dollar value offered between 1 – 5%, compared to other similar homes on the market that were not staged.”

2. Keep it organized

Since you took the time to declutter, keep it organized! Before the buyers show up, pick up toys, make the bed, and put away clean dishes. It is also a good idea to put out some cookies fresh from the oven or a scented candle. Buyers will remember the smell of your home! According to the same report, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms to stage in order to attract more buyers.

3. Give buyers full access

One of the top four elements when selling your home is access! If your home is available anytime, that opens up more opportunity to find a buyer right away. Some buyers, especially those relocating, don’t have much time available. If they cannot get into the house, they will move on to the next one.

4. Price it right

As we mentioned at the beginning, more inventory coming into the market guarantees there will be some competition. You want to make sure your home is noticed. The key to selling your house in 2019 is ensuring it is Priced to Sell Immediately (PTSI). That way, your home will be seen by the greatest amount of buyers and will sell at a great price before more competition comes to market!

So, if you want to sell your house faster at the best price with as little hassle as possible, a local real estate professional is a useful guide. Call them today to find out what you need to do to sell your home more quickly.
