Time to Buy? Sell?
As we always say, the time to buy or sell a condo in Austin is when it’s right for you. Trying to time your condo purchase or sale for the market is next to impossible. The only way to know we’ve hit the peak or the bottom of the market is when it’s behind us. The most important factor in the decision to purchase is are you financially and emotionally ready to own a condo? Work with professionals who can help you wade through your finances and living situation and help you make an informed decision.
If you are looking strictly at the numbers, it appears as though the recommendation is – it is time to buy. Though we are still in a seller’s market, the market is shifting to be more favorable to buyers. With demand down 36% and supply up 11%, buyers have more choices and less competition. Something we haven’t seen in months. We’re also seeing some price reductions and motivated sellers looking to get their homes sold this year so they can move on to the next chapter of their life.
If you need to sell, start the process now. This uptick in interest rates might have a slow down effect for the market, which will ultimately result in lower prices. Buyers who are still motivated now and can afford it will make offers and accept higher interest rates as their cost of getting into the market. Make your condo stand out as a value compared to the competition and you will be successful at getting an offer. Remember, positioning your condo as a value doesn’t just mean pricing lower. If you’re looking to sell a condo in Austin, spend some time preparing your condo to meet the market. The best condos are still selling quickly and for more money than they were last year. With some preparation and market appropriate pricing, you’ll have no trouble finding a buyer. Check out our Condo Marketing Plan, which we know is the best in Austin for how our team will sell your home faster and for more money than any other team in Austin.
If you’re looking to buy, be clear on what you want so you can be quick to move an offer if you find something that fits. Don’t wait until the weekend to check out listings in person. If you can, set alerts and get inside properties of interest early, you might just beat out the competition. Buyers have become complacent and are waiting to see condos thinking they have time. If you can beat them to the punch and make offers, you just might be successful. Though interest rates have risen, they are expected to rise even more in the coming weeks, so this might be the lowest we’ll see for a while. Scout new listings as soon as they are listed. Buyers today are getting complacent and waiting days to see condos when it is convenient for them. The problem is the best units are gone by then. Make house hunting a priority and you’ll have some extra time to make a decision. If you’re looking to buy, our team of experienced buyer’s agents can help you find the right condo in the right complex for you and your family. Because we know the market, we’re also pretty good at negotiating good deals as well. Check out our Austin Home Buyer Representation Program for more info about how we’ll consult you to a thoughtful purchase, rather than hard sell you the first condo we see.
