Homes Scarce, Demand High: Why Now Is the Time to Buy

September 17, 2023

Has the strength in the housing market surprised you?

The strength boils down to supply and demand. Remember back in 2007 when we faced a housing bubble? Back then, we had 4 million homes up for grabs. Fast forward to now, just a little over 1 million available.


Meanwhile, our population has grown by a staggering 34 million people! That means millions more are competing for significantly fewer homes, which pushes home prices higher.


While it’s true rising interest rates dampen demand, there are 2 million new households being formed every year and they all need a place to call home. With builders supplying only about 1.4 million new homes, there's a clear imbalance.


This imbalance is why home prices increased by 6% in 2022, defying the media headlines calling for a housing crash. And what about 2023? Reputable appreciation reports are forecasting 5 to 10% annual growth in home prices this year!


On a $500,000 home, that would mean a gain between $30,000 and $60,000 in home price appreciation alone! Don’t wait, reach out to me today to learn how to generate wealth through real estate. ï»¿
