When looking at sales for the first quarter of this year, seventy percent of all closed sales since January, 2015, were in the under $300,000 price range. For perspective, nationally 40% of sales were in this price range. Twenty-six percent of all closed sales were in the $301,000-$600,000 range; and only four percent of closings were for homes over $600,000. What are the reasons for the inventory shortage, especially in the lower price ranges? There are many first time homebuyers. For all home buyers, credit is more difficult to obtain, and larger down payments are required to purchase. Competing in the first time buyer price ranges are the investors who are using their capital reserves to pay cash, and in some cases pay over asking price and further drive prices up. The good news for sellers in this market is that increased values are putting more homeowners in a positive equity position. This may be you, and if you are ready to relocate, move up or downsize, the time may be right to talk to a Dickson agent.
