2021 is the year of the seller when it comes to the housing market. If you own property and you are thinking of selling, now is the perfect time to do so. There is so much opportunity for homeowners that are looking to make a move. The inventory is low and the mortgage rates are even lower.
According to NEREN, we have about a 1.5 month supply of listings currently in the State of New Hampshire. High buyer interest is creating a major imbalance between supply and demand. There has been a small uptick the last few weeks in housing inventory, due to sellers beginning to reenter the market. If you decide to put your home on the market, now is the time because you will get more activity on your house before more listings come available to the market later this summer.
