Slumping Sales and What It Means for You
Since the beginning of 2023, just 11 homes have sold in Canyon Crest. That is 27% fewer and 70% fewer in 2021 and 2022 for the same periods, respectively.
Why are sales so low?
Lack of inventory. Plenty of buyers are just waiting for the right property to come on the market. Unfortunately, there are just 2 properties currently active on the market in Canyon Crest right now. Frankly, the only reason these two active properties haven’t been already purchased is because they are priced at higher price points and need updating.
Why is there a lack of inventory?
Like me, you may have refinanced when rates were at all-time lows in the 2-3% range, and the thought of losing that rate is horrifying - especially when you realize that interest rates are now hovering around 7%. That’s a hard pill to swallow even if served with the finest champagne. As a result, homeowners are hunkering down even though they may want a home with different features, sizes, or locations.
The Silver Lining:
- This lack of inventory is maintaining home values. While home values did drop in the second half of last year, they have steadily increased this year and are hovering just below the peak prices of May 2022. That means a vast majority of homeowners have seen a great appreciation in their homes.
- If you are thinking of selling, now is a great time. The seller holds ALL the power. Buyers can't buy what doesn't exist. As a result, buyers are gobbling up any property as soon as it comes on the market provided one key requirement is met: The home is priced at a fair market value according to its condition in comparison to similar properties
With non-existent inventory and plenty of buyers wanting to live in Canyon Crest, there is ample opportunity for homeowners to cash in on all the equity that has accumulated over the past few years and beyond. Sellers will achieve success if they prepare their homes properly for sale and price it at fair market value. (And if they hire The Swan Team, of course!)
