Con las ordenes de permanecer en casa empezando a levantarse gradualmente en partes del país, los datos indican que los compradores de vivienda están entrando nuevamente al mercado. Después de que muchas familias pusieran sus planes en espera debido a la pandemia COVID-19, lo que una vez llamamos la ajetreada temporada de bienes raíces de la primavera está cambiando al verano. En 2020, el verano es la mueva primavera para bienes raíces.

Joel Kan, Economista de la Asociación de banqueros hipotecarios (MBA por sus siglas en inglés) señala:

“Las solicitudes para la compra de las viviendas continúa recuperándose de la considerable caída en abril y ahora han aumentado durante cinco semanas consecutivas… Las solicitudes de compra del gobierno, que incluyen los préstamos de FHA, VA, y USDA, son ahora un 5 por ciento más altas que las del año pasado, lo que es un cambio alentador después de la deficiencia vista durante los últimos dos meses”.

Además, según Google Trends, que anota términos de búsqueda en línea, las búsquedas de bienes raíces aumentaron de 68 puntos la semana del 15 de marzo a 92 puntos la semana pasada. Como podemos ver, más compradores potenciales están buscando casas virtualmente.

¿Cuál es la oportunidad para los compradores?

Otra razón por la que los compradores están regresando al mercado, incluso con el desempleo forzado y las ordenes de permanecer en casa, históricamente las tasas hipotecarias están bajas. Sam Khater, Economista principal de Freddie Mac indica:

“Por cuarta semana consecutiva, la tasa hipotecaria fija a 30 años ha estado por debajo del 3.30 por ciento, lo que da a los compradores potenciales una buena razón para seguir comprando incluso en medio de la pandemia… A medida que los estados reabren, estamos viendo que la demanda de compra mejora notablemente rápido, ahora esencialmente plana en comparación con el año pasado”.

Con tasas hipotecarias en niveles tan bajos y los estados poco a poco empezando a reabrir, hay más incentivos que nunca para comprar una casa este verano.

¿Cuál es la oportunidad para los vendedores?

Sin embargo, encontrar una casa para comprar sigue siendo un desafío, ya que los vendedores de la primavera removieron muchas casas para la venta del mercado. Aunque más personas están poniendo sus casas a la venta este mes en comparación con el mes pasado, el inventario actual sigue estando muy por debajo del nivel del año pasado.

Según el ‘Weekly Economic and Housing Market Update’ de la semana pasada de realtor.com:

“El inventario semanal de las viviendas mostró un endurecimiento continuo. Las casas para la venta nuevas disminuyeron un 28 % en comparación con el año pasado, a medida que los vendedores se enfrentaban a la incertidumbre y dudaban en poner las casas en el mercado. El total de casas para la venta cayó 20 % año tras año, una tasa mas rápida que en las semanas anteriores, dejando muy pocas casas disponibles para la venta. Como los días en el mercado era de 15 días mas lento año tras año, los precios que se piden subieron un 1.5 % año tras año”.

Si está pensando en vender su casa este verano, ahora puede ser su mejor oportunidad. Con tan pocas casas en el mercado para que los compradores compren, esta temporada puede ser el momento para que su casa se destaque entre la multitud. Los profesionales en bienes raíces de confianza pueden ayudarle a poner su casa a la venta de forma segura y eficaz, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de su familia. Los compradores están buscando, y su casa puede estar en la parte superior de su lista.

En conclusión,

Si usted está pensando en vender, muchos compradores pueden estar ansiosos por encontrar una casa como la suya. Vamos a comunicarnos hoy para asegurarnos de que puede poner su casa en acción este verano.

Advice for First-Generation Homebuyers

ICYMI: The sense of pride you’ll feel when you purchase a home can’t be overstated. For first-generation homebuyers, that feeling of accomplishment is even greater. That’s because the pride of homeownership for first-generation buyers extends far beyond the homebuyer. AJ Barkley, Head of Neighborhood and Community Lending for Bank of America, says: “Achieving this goal can […] http://dlvr.it/SFRWC5

Make Your Best Offer FIRST

This strategy is not about trying to negotiate the best price; it is about beating out the competition and buying the home. It may be difficult to understand until you have lost a few homes to better offers but when the reality of the situation is that there are not that many homes on the market, the competition heats up and different tactics are necessary. Sales in December were annualized at 6.76 million, a 22.2% increase year over year according to the National Association of REALTOR®. The median sales price is $309,800 which is up 12.9% from the previous year. Inventory for December fell to 1.9 months' supply from 3.0 months' supply in December of 2019. Six months inventory is considered a balanced market. Things that work in a buyer's market will not work in a seller's market. The shortage of available homes for sale has led to not only shorter market times but multiple offers that have sales prices above the listing price. Buyers, especially in e

Moving UP or DOWN

Staying at home in 2020 caused of lot of owners to think about how nice it would be to have a larger home to accommodate the additional activities that come along with isolating. Particularly for people with children at home or possibly, the potential of either adult children or parents coming to live with them. There are other owners who are trying to weigh the pros and cons of selling their larger home and downsizing. For entirely different reasons, the advantages could be very appealing to an owner. A smaller home is easier to maintain and usually, has lower utilities, insurance, and property taxes. Some people might be considering the convenience and ease of mobility of a single level home. It may be finding a location with proximity to the activities they are now interested in. A newer home might have less maintenance and be more energy efficient. Married taxpayers who have owned and occupied a principal residence for two years can exclude up to $500,000 of capital gain

Who Decides Value?

The seller can put a price on the home but the value is ultimately, determined by the buyer. Individually, a buyer could pay over market value because they love the location, or the elevation of the home or the proximity to something that is important to them. The shortage of available homes resulting in increased competition among buyers could drive the value higher. Most experts agree initially pricing it properly will generally result in the highest sales price. If a home starts out too high, it could actually sell for a lower price after it has been on the market for a while. It gives the impression that there must be something "wrong" with the house because it didn't sell immediately. So, how does a seller determine what price to put on the home? It has nothing to do with what the seller needs to get out of it. Nor does the price the seller paid for it make any difference now. Even if the seller made considerable improvements, they may not affect th

Moving "Down" in an "Up" Market

Selling a home and buying a lower priced home that meets your current needs can be to your advantage in an "Up" market like the current one with low inventory. The advantage is that you can maximize the price for the home you're selling and not have to reinvest it all in your replacement. Just to illustrate the point, let's say there is a 10% premium in the sales price of a home currently. If you're selling a home for $750,000, it would be $75,000. If you replaced the home with a $500,000 home, the premium would be $50,000 which means you're $25,000 ahead. Let's further assume that your home is debt free so that when you sell it, you have a large cash equity. Instead of paying cash for the replacement home, get an 80% loan at today's low interest rates and reinvest the proceeds to supplement your retirement. You may be able to get as low as a 2.5% mortgage and earn significantly more on the proceeds in other investments. Home prices are

Do you like to negotiate?

Whether you like to or not, buying and selling a home involves negotiation at all stages of the process. It is not like the retail world where once you decide to purchase, you pay the price. It is easily the most expensive purchase or sale that most people experience and emotions get involved that could affect the negotiations adversely. The word "home" by itself conjures up emotions and selling a home you've lived in for a while could even complicate things more. A real estate professional can separate their emotions from the process to be able to help the one they are representing. The price of the home, the type of financing and concessions, closing costs, personal property, closing dates and possession are just a few of the many things that can be negotiated in a contract. Since the seller wants to get the most for their house and the buyer wants to pay the least, their objectives are diametrically opposed. Even after the contract is signed, removing the

TOWNHOUSE VS. CONDO: WHICH SHOULD YOU BUY? Whether it’s your first time buying or you just want to purchase something smaller, townhouses and condos are both great options. Check out the differences between the two to help aid you in your search! Condominiums Condominiums are similar to apartments in that you purchase an individual unit inside of a larger building, but not the property it sits on. This generally includes access to the building’s amenities, such as the clubhouse, pool, and gym. However, condo owners are not responsible for the upkeep and repair of these common areas. Because of the number of shared spaces, living in a condo often allows for meeting new people and building a strong sense of community. There is a fairly similar vetting process for loan approval as for a full-sized home; however, the lender will also look at the health of the condo association. Townhouses Those who purchase a townhome are generally purchasing the complete unit, both inside and out,

Planning to Retire? It Could Be Time To Make a Move.

One of your goals could be selling your house and finding a home that more closely fits your needs. Fortunately, you may be in a better position to make a move than you realize.
