Executive Insights Spring Smells Sweet for Sellers Like in years past, Spring seems to be the time when the gas pedal gets pushed down to the floor with regards to the Bay Area housing market. With kids getting out of school for the summer and families looking to make a move before the next school year starts, April tends to be the tipping point of the “red hot” real estate season. Traditionally we see an increase in listings starting in April and this year was no different. Listings were up in every part of the Bay Area, with most areas seeing double digit increases month over month. But with this flood of inventory hitting the market you might think this is going to become a buyer’s market, but that doesn’t look like the case. With the excellent job market and pent up demand for inventory, these increased listings are probably not going to silence the multiple offers and over asking prices in the desirable areas. But this influx of properties will allow some people that have been locked out of the market to dip their toes back in the buying pool. Another couple of factors that might play into this increased listings scenario are mortgage rates and rental prices. 30-year fixed mortgage rates are forecasted by the National Association of REALTORS® to rise by nearly a point by Q1 of 2017. If buyers find a desirable home sooner rather than later, they could potentially save thousands of dollars over the life of their loan. Especially in the Bay Area where the median home price is close to $650,000. This might make buyers more aggressive than they would be if rates were forecasted to stay flat. High rental prices could also impact the extra inventory that hits the market. With rents in some areas nearing the $6,000 a month range, this may have renters thinking seriously about becoming potential buyers. The rental scenario is especially interesting because it could impact some of the more moderately priced regions of the Bay Area. So yes we’re seeing an increase in listings across the Bay Area, but how will that impact your buying or selling decision over the next few months? We still need to remember that at the end of the day, real estate will always be local. For this reason, we have broken down the data in these reports and provided an easy to digest analysis for the area you might soon call home. So take a look and let us help you become a more informed home buyer or seller.
