Interest rates continue to affect potential buyers’ ability to buy the homes of their choice. Both resale homes and new home sales are being impacted. Buyers are still hesitant at times due to their worry about the stability of their jobs, causing some of them to have to really think hard about considering making a purchase. New home sales continue to be affected by rising costs for materials, shortages of materials, and labor shortages. But regardless of all this — demand for homes is still there — so if you are thinking of selling, there are buyers looking.
Sellers in this market, in most cases, do need to do more in preparing for potential buyers than home sellers had to deal with only a few months ago – 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 ‘spiff’ up their homes before they put their homes on the market.
What will our area see regarding home sales as we continue throughout spring? 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, as well as custom builders that are 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 referenced numbers. If a home sells that is not listed on the MLS, the information related to that sale is not included in this information.)
