movinggreaterboston Are you longing for extra rooms or a more functional floorplan in your house? Maybe it’s time to make a move. 📦🏡 With so few homes available for sale and high demand from today’s homebuyers, sellers are profiting in major ways this season. Bidding wars are gaining traction, driving up the sale price of more and more homes throughout the country. This means sellers are able to leverage extra cash from higher-priced sales while also taking advantage of today’s low mortgage rates when they purchase their next home. It’s the perfect scenario to move up into a true dream home. According to the April Luxury Market Report from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, “The Institute’s recent analysis of sales in 2020 for homes over 5,000 square feet support the continuing preference for larger homes. The analysis determined that there was a 17% increase in the number of 5,000+ sq ft homes sold when compared to the number of sales in 2019.” Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR), also explains, “The market is hot pretty much everywhere and across all price points . . . The only area where there is sufficient inventory is in $1 million-plus homes . . . .” While this price range certainly doesn’t fit every budget, if it’s in your reach this summer, you may want to make your move sooner rather than later. Today, more homes are available in this segment of the market, but as the report mentions, more buyers are investing here too, so competition may heat up sooner rather than later.

movinggreaterboston This year, Americans are moving for a variety of reasons.📦 The health crisis has truly reshaped our lifestyles and our needs. Spending so much more time in our current homes has driven many people to reconsider what homeownership means and what they find most valuable in their living spaces. With a new perspective on homeownership, here are some of the reasons people are reconsidering where they live and making moves right now. 💻Working from Home Remote work became the new norm, and for some, it’s persisting longer than initially expected. Many in the workforce today are discovering they don’t need to live so close to the office anymore and they can get more for their money if they move a little further outside the city limits. 🏋🏾‍♀️Room for Fitness & Activities Staying healthy and active is a top priority for many Americans, and dreams of having space for a home gym are growing stronger. A recent survey of 4,538 active adults from 122 countries noted the three fastest-growing fitness trends amongst active adults: -At-home fitness equipment (up 50%) -Personal trainers/nutritionists (up 48%) -Online fitness courses, classes, and subscriptions (up 17%) 🤸🏻Outdoor Space Better Homes & Gardens recently released the outdoor living trends for this year, and three of them are: -Outdoor Kitchens: 60% of homeowners are looking to add outdoor kitchens. -Edible Garden: Millions of people began gardening during the pandemic . . . to supplement pantries with homegrown fruits, vegetables, and herbs. -Secluded Spaces: As outdoor activity increases, so does the need for privacy. If you’re clamoring for more room to accommodate your changing needs, making a move may be your best bet. #realestate #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestateadvice #realestatemarket #realestateexperts #realestateagents #bostonrealestate #realestateteam #realtor #sellersagent #buyersagent #somervillema #charlestownma #boston #jamaicaplain #roslindale #realestatetipsoftheday #realestatetipsandadvice #keepingcurrentmatters #househunting #firsttimebuyer #dreamhome

movinggreaterboston As we enter the middle of 2021, many are wondering if we’ll see big changes in the housing market during the second half of this year. 🏡🏢🏗 Here’s a look at what some experts have to say about key factors that will drive the industry and the economy forward in the months to come.👀 realtor.com: “. . . homes continue to sell quickly in what’s normally the fastest-moving time of the year. This is in contrast with 2020 when homes sold slower in the spring and fastest in September and October. While we expect fall to be competitive, this year’s seasonal pattern is likely to be more normal, with homes selling fastest from roughly now until mid-summer.” National Association of Realtors (NAR): “Sellers who have been hesitant to list homes as part of their personal health safety precautions may be more encouraged to list and show their homes with a population mostly vaccinated by the mid-year.” Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com: “Surveys showed that seller confidence continued to rise in April. Extra confidence plus our recent survey finding that more homeowners than normal are planning to list their homes for sale in the next 12 months suggest that while we may not see an end to the sellers’ market, we might see the intensity of the competition diminish as buyers have more options to choose from.” Freddie Mac: “We forecast that mortgage rates will continue to rise through the end of next year. We estimate the 30-year fixed mortgage rate will average 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021, rising to 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022.” Experts are optimistic about the second half of the year.

movinggreaterboston Misunderstandings about affordability could cost you!💸 There’s a lot of discussion about affordability as home prices continue to appreciate rapidly. Even though the most recent index on affordability from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows homes are more affordable today than the historical average, some still have concerns about whether or not it’s truly affordable to buy a home right now. When addressing this topic, there are various measures of affordability to consider. However, very few of the indexes compare the affordability of owning a home to renting one. In a paper just published by the Urban Institute, Homeownership Is Affordable Housing, author Mike Loftin examines whether it’s more affordable to buy or rent. Here are some of the highlights included. -Renters pay a higher percentage of their income toward their rental payment than homeowners pay toward their mortgage. -Renters don’t have extra money to invest in other assets. -Your mortgage payment remains relatively the same over time. Your rent keeps going up. -If you want to own a home and can afford it, waiting could cost you. If the current headlines reporting a supposed drop-off in home affordability are making you nervous, DM us to go over the real insights in our area. . . . . . #realestate #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestatemarket #realestateexperts #realestateagents #realestatetipsoftheday #realestatetipsandadvice #keepingcurrentmatters #buyersagent #bostonrealestate #realestateadvice #realestatequestions
