Sublet, A Short-Term Option for Buyers in Limbo

March 21, 2016 by Lauer Realty Group

Home Buyers Have High Competition

Buying a home in today’s real estate market can be quite competitive. With a current 2.16 months of inventory, home buyers are having a tough time. A balanced market is 6 months worth of inventory, which means the average home will spend 6 months on the market for sale. Scarce inventory, low interest rates on mortgages, and high competition gives home sellers the strong hand in today’s real estate market. On the other hand, home buyers have to act faster, know their highest and best offers, and be ready to compete. Having an experienced Realtor with the right negotiating skills will result in both sides getting a solid deal.

Low Inventory Leaves Buyers Living in Limbo

While we are working furiously to get more homes put on the market for all our home buyers, this will take time. With the break in the weather, Spring is sure to bring about many more homes ready to sell. Unfortunately, not everyone has time to wait. Professionals relocating to Madison for a new job, small families waiting for the ‘just right’ house to come on the market, and empty nesters looking to downsize to the right size house – whatever their situation, some people are in limbo until more homes start hitting the market.

Home Sellers Wanted

If you or someone you know has been talking about selling their home this year, have them get a price assessment of their home by a licensed Realtor®… sooner than later. If they act today, we can give them an idea of what items they need to do to prepare to sell, and what kind of traffic their home will see in this Buyer-concentrated market. Knowledge can’t hurt, but waiting could. Contact a Broker Associate today to get your home value.
