Last year impacted the needs of many, and some are recognizing that the home in which they currently live might not fit their lifestyle now. If you have a makeshift office or school space that isn’t functioning well for your family, if your attempts at exercising at home aren’t working due to limited private space, or even if you are just spending more time within your four walls than you ever expected, now is a great time to review your options!
With an inventory drop of 22% over the last year and home price appreciation at 7.3% year-over-year, it is an incredible time to sell. Inventory has decreased and demand has increased, most likely increasing your home equity. This is great news if you are a homeowner and thinking about selling. And with interest rates at historic lows, it’s also an excellent time to buy!
