Summary:
There was a huge increase homes listed in the Goose Creek SC , from 315 to 409. The homes that sold, sold an average of 96% of their listed price and sold in 85 days. The average days on the market for homes sold went up from 80 to 85 days.
The real estate market for sellers is not getting any easier with more homes coming onto the market and not many homes selling. Based on the current inventory and homes sold last months, there is almost 20 months of inventory.
Note: A well priced home will sell faster and closer to the listing price.
Buying Tip:
From the Home Buyer’s perspective, there are 4 Big Reasons Why you should Buy in the next 3 months:
1.) Low Interest Rates
2.) First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit – FREE $$$$$
3.) Low Home Prices
4.) Lots of Home For Sale
In the next 3 months, the low interest rates will start rise due to the government discontinuing their mortgage buying program and deadline eligibility for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit will run out at the end of April.
By not taking advantage of the low interest rates and the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, you are literally missing out on thousands of dollars.
Selling TIP:
From the Home Seller’s Perspective, here are the 3 Big Reasons Why you should try to Sell in the next 3 months:
1.) Serious Home Buyers are going to Buy Now
2.) Inventory of Homes on the market is expected to grow (i.e. spring market & Foreclosures)
3.) Home Prices may continue to trend downward
Many active home buyers, if they are serious will take advantage of the low interest rates and the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
In my opinion, those home buyers who were not very serious may decide not to buy due to higher interest rates and the eligibility for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit runs out.
By waiting to sell later this year and with the possibility of home prices going lower, you potentially could stay on the market much longer and sell for a lower price than right now.
