What to look for in the coming market!

July 29, 2022 by Mike Stott

We’re seeing a market shift right this summer. The rise in interest rates and the continuing rise in home prices has made it significantly less affordable to buy a home.   The economist who predicted the housing crash in 2008 thinks we are now “halfway through the fall.”  The number of sales is predicted to fall and the rate of home price appreciation is slowing.  If you’re a buyer don’t hold your breath for prices to drop as the laws of supply and demand will  cause prices to rise.  This article by Dave Ramsey explains why prices will not drop.

If you are thinking of selling every indication is that prices will continue to rise at a much more moderate pace for the next few years.  The following charts show that while listing inventory is up slightly – it’s it still at strong seller’s market levels. Because 5 of the last 6 recessions didn’t lead to huge price declines in sales prices many are predicting price increases.

 

This last chart below sums it up best.  When the market crashed around 2007, we had over 9 months of salable homes available; many with no equity as they were purchased using “junk money loans.” Today the months of supply is well under 3 months; there is massive equity, and the lenders have not made “junk” loans.

 

Real Estate Stats and Thoughts

Our primary areas of service are below, and it continues to be a strong sellers’ market. Average appreciation has slowed to 19.1% and the number of closings declined by 18.5% – attributable to rise in interest rates.

Active listings are at historic lows of in Cherokee AND Cobb Counties – in both counties combined we have 2069 homes for sale and only 5 homes for sale under $200,000! All 5 are fixer-upper and not habitable.  Last month 1317 homes closed in the two counties; giving us 1.6 months of remaining inventory.

Our buyers’ agent Josh helped a friend find a first-time condo and get it under contract. The buyers’ requirement to be under $140,000 narrowed down the search to 3 homes within 50 miles of our office that were livable.  In addition, we’ve helped five other buyers go under contract in the past month.

More Exciting Stuff in and Around Cartersville

 

The newest museum opened in late 2021 and is the Savoy devoted to all things automobile.  With over 105,000 square feet it features cars, history, shows, swap meets and more.  If that doesn’t fit your liking Try world-renowned Booth Western Museum which shows Americas Story with art, exhibits and Moore.  And just a few minutes away is the Tellus Museum (a favorite of my grandchildren) with a planetarium, hands-on exhibits, and dinosaurs, rocks, and more.

More from Our Clients

“You can invest in the best markets in the country but if you don’t have a great management team looking after your investments you can still lose money. That is why I stick with Northwest Atlanta Properties. I tell people it is like buying a mutual fund. You buy a property and the fund manager does the rest. If he does a good job you buy more. That is why I am buying more.”

“My Wife and I became first time home owners in Sept. Northwest Atlanta Properties guided us every step of the way. They introduced us to several lenders, Home inspectors, and Appraisers. They were always concerned with what we thought and our preferences. We went out One Saturday and saw 6 listings. We put in an offer on the one we liked and Got it!!! They stepped in and made negotiations easy as well as prepped us for the eventualities we faced. They should change their slogan to “One and Done” We will never use anyone else.”

“This family-owned business was a joy to work with! They listed to exactly what we wanted and put our priorities above their profit margins. I never felt pressured to go into a higher price point then we were comfortable with. They showed us several homes in the areas we were considering and worked with us every step of the way. We were new to the state so relied on their expertise to find us the perfect community for raising our children. I was in constant contact with Donna, Mike, & Josh who never made me feel like I was bothering them. Their many years of expertise made me feel safe and confident while looking for our home. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!”
