If you are out showing homes on a regular basis, you tend to
see the number of available homes go up and down. It seems that at times all buyers out there
are looking for the same homes. You can
see the popularity of certain house listings by the number of lookers that
follow you though your tour of homes.
This time of year the inventory is at its lowest of the
year. This is due to several factors:
- Holidays are a big factor of sellers not wishing to go through the showing process while they are having family and decorations.
- Many home sellers are waiting for the new tax year to begin.
- School year is only half over, many sellers have a time held feeling that many of the buyers are waiting for school to be over before they move.
- Weather makes it more challenging to show have people come through your home.
- Some sellers just think there is a “selling season.”
Whatever the reason for the low listing rates, it will take
probably 30 days to build back up. In the
meantime hang in there because this year will be better!
