Today we’re going to be talking about consumer confidence in terms of the real estate market.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 34% of those polled believe that the best long-term investment choice is real estate—ahead of stocks and mutual funds at 26%.

85% of Americans now believe that purchasing a home is a good financial decision. That’s a great number to see, as it’s the highest percentage since 2007, before the Great Recession. According to Sean Becketti, Freddie Mac's chief economist, “A decade after the Great Recession, the housing market is rebounding.”

Lawrence Yun, the NAR Chief Economist, had this to say about the current real estate market: “Listings in the affordable price range continue to be scooped up rapidly, but the severe housing shortages inflicting many markets are keeping a large segment of would-be buyers on the sidelines.”

If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market, now is the time to do so.

So, if you’re thinking about putting your home on the market, now is the time to do so. Give us a call if you would like to list your home, as the majority of our listings are selling in less than 30 days and in many cases, for higher than list price if we price them correctly.

If you have any additional questions about this topic or you want to list your home for sale, give us a call. We’d be happy to help!

If you’re in the market to buy a home, our website offers a unique home search feature that we think you should be aware of.

There’s a widget located on the right side of this page. It’s a quick portal to our home search website, located right underneath the market snapshot.

All you need to do is type in the area you’re looking in, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you want, add your price range, and click “search.”

The widget will lead you directly to our live feed of listings, which are pulled directly from the MLS constantly. If there is a property that you want to take a better look at, simply click the address and you will find photos, specs, and other information about the home.
