Demand for homes is there — buyers are looking for good values, if you are thinking of selling
Despite rising interest rates for home loans, there is still significant demand for seller-resell homes. There are cash buyers who are not worried about loan rates and the increasing loan rates. But compared to the days when interest rates were lower, and homes were selling more rapidly, current sellers may need to prepare their homes a little bit more. The market has changed from days when buyers were snatching up listings within hours of being placed on the MLS. Sellers will benefit from handling needed repairs and doing what they can to stage homes before putting them on the market.
What will our area see regarding home sales as we continue throughout winter? Only time will tell — stay tuned.
(Note — the above information only reflects home listings and sales in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The Gold Canyon area has various new home builders and custom builders actively building and selling homes. Builder-constructed homes are NOT referenced as part of the above numbers, because they are not listed in the MLS. Additionally, homes sold utilizing selling services not a part of the MLS are not included in the referenced numbers. If a home not listed on the MLS sells, that sale information is not included in this information.)
