Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

Why Buying Now May Be Worth It in the Long Run Should you buy a home now or should you wait? That’s a question a lot of people have these days. And while what’s right for you is going to depend on a lot of different factors, here’s something you’ll want to consider as you make your decision. As soon as you buy, you’ll start gaining equity. And you’d be surprised how quickly that can add up – even with more moderate home price appreciation. Each quarter, Fannie Mae releases the Home Price Expectations Survey. It asks over one hundred economists, real estate experts, and investment and market strategists what they forecast for home prices over the next five years. In the latest release, experts project prices will continue to rise nationally through at least 2028 (see the graph below): Wh...

Lately, I've heard some buyers comment about waiting to buy a home until after the election.  This got me to thinking, what is behind buyer's decisions to buy a home?  Can an election affect the housing market?  It seems to have put buyers on hold.  If that happens, how does THAT affect the housing market?  Many questions - let's come up with some answers.  Some buyers may be thinking that waiting until after the election is a wise move.  But wait, aren't others thinking this way?  What if those buyers are all waiting, sitting on the fence until after the election?   Doesn't that create an even longer list of buyers waiting to buy?  In my humble opinion, yes.  But let's see what others are saying?   Reading research by John Burns Research and Consulting seemed like a wise homework assig...
