Sellers are finally starting to catch up with strong buyer demand, but at the rate that homes are being snatched up, the influx of new listings will need to be more than a short-term addition.  Rising home prices, fewer days on market and more homes being sold all support a positive public opinion about real estate.  The following local stats should shed invaluable quantitative support for that warm fuzzy feeling residential real estate is handing out.

Interest rates are on the rise, but further increases should be incremental and gradual without harming housing demand. All the same, some buyers might feel an extra pinch to act soon if economic and jobs data continues on a path of improvement. Ultra-low rates will not remain the rule of the day if the economy gives the Fed no reason to maintain its quantitative easing (money printing) stimulus policies.

Although buyers are still in the market for higher inventory levels, sellers remain happy with their multiple-offer situations and short days on the market.  As the product mix shifts away from distressed properties and towards traditional sellers, the U.S. housing market finds itself in a place it hasn’t been in a while – healthfully competitive.  Pocket listings and shadow inventory provide something for the media to talk about, but for now, the market seems strong enough to hold up to any casual cannon fodder aimed its way.
