Despite the “News” Existing Home Sales Continue to be Strong!

hy does negative news always overshadow the positive side of things? It’s so important to keep things in perspective. I read last week, once again, that the housing market is in a deep recession. So, on face value, most homeowners believe that they have lost an opportunity to take advantage of one of the strongest real estate markets in our Nation’s history. This is far from true. So, for your sake, I thought I’d help set the record straight as existing home sales remain strong.

What the news is reporting revolves around new housing startups. The one segment of the market most significantly affected by interest rates (now over 6%) is $550,000- $750,000 new construction; generally purchased by first time homebuyers who require a mortgage to purchase. While, historically, 6% is attractive (rates in the 80’s were in double digits!), the approximate 3-4% jump in rates would require most first time homebuyers to make some serious life choices if they decided to make a home purchase a priority. Remember, prior to COVID only about 19% of Millennials owned homes. COVID and the resultant ability to work remotely changed that percentage drastically. The decline in this segment of the market is hammering homebuilders and is now depressing housing related retail sales, which impacts “housing market” statistics. Sales in in furniture and furnishings stores decline 1.6% in August versus the prior year and by 5.7%, year to year, in electronics and appliance stores. Sales of new homes recently came in at the weakest monthly level since 2018. But, it’s not just interest rates that have given builders pause; materials continue to be expensive; and the significantly increasing demand on the construction industry and materials may continue to limit startups. If you consider labor and materials needed to maintain and upgrade existing homes coupled with the BILLIONS of dollars approved and budgeted for US infrastructure construction, pressure on existing inventory will continue and the value of your existing home, for now in most cases, preserved.

LEATHERMAN’S HILL, MADISON Listed for $1,875,000 Situated in the heart of Madison, CT, this home is within walking distance of the Town Beach, Golf Club, Beach Club and Town Green. The environment is spectacular. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee poolside in complete privacy. Or, an evening cocktail, again by the pool while prepping the grill; or, relax a few steps away in the home’s gazebo. Inside enjoy cooking in your chef’s kitchen, entertaining in your personal Irish Pub on the lower level or relaxing in the home’s generous family room adorned with a gas freplace, beautiful hardwood foors, and embellished with numerous built-ins, and impressive crown molding; obvious throughout the residence and a symbol of opulence and attention to architectural detail. Enjoy the video at: https://vimeo.com/730199505.

Existing home sales remain strong provided the home is reasonably priced, in good condition, and in a desirable location. In Connecticut, home prices increased 10.5% year over year in August. While the number of homes sold during the same time period dropped by 14.3%, available inventory dropped an astounding 26.3%. Obviously, you can’t sell what you don’t have! Days on market are down 6% at an attractive 37 days. So, while inventory remains low, sales of existing homes should remain strong, but, possibly not at the frenetic pace as it was six months ago. As I’ve consistently maintained, the most important word in the world of real estate is “REASONABLE”. You can garner an attractive price in thismarket without trying to make a killing. With that, the right realtor can guide you through a smooth and profitable transition.

DID YOU KNOW…Real Estate contributes $3 TRILLION worth of GDP while government contributes about $2.65 TRILLION. We need to work to sustain this important segment of our Nation’s economic well being! I’m not quite sure why the FED wants to cool down one of its strongest GDP engines!
