America’s home buying binge seems to be coming to an end. Our specific area, Padre Island, is still hot for relocations & second homes, but we are starting to sense a shift and data is beginning to support this sense.
Home sales have tumbled for the third month. Cash buyers are beginning to be fewer and disappearing. Even though mortgage rates eased this past week many buyers are pulling back from the housing market. The stock market is scaring people. Where is our economy going?
Before long, and we’ve seen this before, there will come a time when buyers and sellers are not knocking down a sellers door. Many of we real estate brokerages are beginning to prepare for the upcoming market changes. Our real estate inventory is beginning to rise, ever so slightly, and fewer sold/closings.
We’ve been here before…..get prepared.
