SELLERS MARKET

Things you need to know about a sellers market. What is a sellers market? Currently its a strong sellers market and still hot in Florida. A sellers market is when the inventory supply of homes is low and demand to buy homes is high, in turn the seller can almost put almost any number the price to sell their home because of high demand due to inflation in the economy. So when you decide to sell your home, other home sales drive the asking price of your home up with huge appreciation.

Bidding wars are still out there, at least five offers per home. Homeowners who are seriously thinking of selling their homes, now is the time to cash in. Generally the first few days on the market expect a home to have at least ten to fifteen contract's. During the first year of the pandemic, sixty percent of sales were cash buyers paying well over asking price. It is a fierce housing market.
