Description

Press release from the Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce: 1/7/2022 Interest Rates Interest rates should be a big factor whether or not to purchase a home in a sellers market. Currently, interest rates for mortgages are near historic lows, which make it a great time to purchase, even in a sellers market. Price Since there is normally competition in a sellers market and multiple offers, it's important a buyer understands they may have to pay full price for a home and possibly over the asking price! If a buyer is looking to submit low ball offers to sellers, buying a home during a sellers market is probably not the most opportune time to be buying. Competition During a sellers market, there's a very good chance a buyer maybe put into a multiple offer situation. There are many things that can be done to give an advantage in a multiple offer situation, but it's critical to understand that there is a great chance this is going to be a reality. Selection Of Available Housing It needs to be understood that during a sellers market, the number of homes that will be for sale will be low. If a buyer has very specific housing criteria, buying a home during a sellers market may not be the best idea. This press release was produced by the Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce.
