There is some much going on right now, a contested election, a pandemic with an increase in cases, yet the real estate market remains strong, why is that and what is the latest on activity in the real estate market? The only change for us with the pandemic is we have to limit the number of showings to 4 people at a time and wear; Masks, Gloves & Wipe Down surfaces after showing. I believe the market is strong because of the growth of this city: Space Force – also bring in Defense contractors, NASA, etc 15,000 + HIGH PAYING JOB, Amazon, 1,000 + JOBS.
This is a great time to buy a home AND A really great time to sell a home
Here is why:
- Increase in sales by 25%
- Increase in Average Sales price by 17.3% SF Homes
- For Townhouse / Condo Increase = 35.4%
- Decrease in Available Inventory by 59.7%
- Let’s explore that:
- Right now: The Average Sales Price is $431,104
- If you bought a Single family home for $300,000 1 year ago
- Its value now is $350,000
- If you bought a Condo/Townhome for $150,000 – 1 year ago
- Its value now is $203,000
Even though the market prices are Rising, It’s a GREAT time to invest in real estate here: Did you know that a Hedge fund is buying 500 homes a year here? Paying full price or over CASH. Just ask the Musick Family, I’m selling their home to that investor for $10,000 OVER ASKING PRICE! Their system: We find someone qualified to rent it for 1 year
They purchase it for CASH. I’m so optimistic about this market we are Buying Homes as Buy and Hold Real Estate!
I Just Bought One of My Listings for $250,000, $10K over asking because that was the market value. It’s a great investment!
Monthly Rental Income: $1700 If I hold it for 15 years (with someone else covering the payment) that investment could easily double in value! And by then it will be fully paid off as an income generating investment.
