GIVE US YOUR OPINION

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION FROM HBJ

Supply chain issues are bogging down growth in almost every industry, delaying deliveries of badly needed materials and products and driving up prices. Observers and analysts have laid the blame on factors ranging from the country’s historic labor shortage to rising fuel prices to COVID-induced manufacturing shutdowns in producer nations such as China, Mexico and Vietnam, even prompting some companies to consider relocating operations back to the United States.

And with no clear end in sight, the federal government and figures in the private sector have suggested the crisis could drag on well into 2022 or 2023 before some sense of pre-pandemic normalcy is restored.

Are supply chain disruptions affecting operations at your company?

YES or NO?

Are you thinking about selling your house right now, but you’re not sure you’ll have the time to do so as the holidays draw near? If so, consider this: even as the holiday season approaches, there are plenty of buyers out there, and they really want your house. Here’s why selling this winter is a win for you.

According to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average seller received 3.7 offers on their house in September. That number is significant because it means you’ll likely have multiple offers to pick from if you sell your house this season. To put things into perspective, no matter where your state falls, remember that you really only need one good offer to close the deal.

Any offer you receive will likely be from a highly motivated buyer who’s doing everything they can to beat the competition. The stakes for buyers are high. They’ve been looking for a house and they want to lock in their dream home before prices and mortgage rates rise further next year. Chances are, they’ll get creative with the terms of their offer, which could include waiving contingencies and offering over asking price – both of which are great news for you.

If you’re on the fence about when to sell, remember your house is a hot commodity this season. As other sellers take a break for the holidays with plans to re-list their homes in the new year, you can put your house in front of motivated buyers by making your move today. That means your house will be the center of attention, and likely the center of a bidding war too.

Recent data from NAR tells us it’s still a great time to list your house. Inventory is lower than it was at this time last year, so your house should sell quickly and get multiple offers. Feeling motivated? DM me if you’re ready to capitalize on today’s sellers’ market.

Many people have questions about home prices right now. How much have prices risen over the past 12 months? What’s happening with home values right now? What’s projected for next year? Here’s a look at the answers to all three of these questions.

>>How much have home values appreciated over the last 12 months?
According to the latest Home Price Index from CoreLogic, home values have increased by 18.1% compared to this time last year. Additionally, prices have gone up at an accelerated pace for each of the last eight months. The last year has shown tremendous home price appreciation, which is resulting in a major gain in wealth for homeowners through rising equity.

>>What’s happening with home prices right now?
Indices also show that while appreciation is in the high double digits right now, that price acceleration is beginning to level off. Year-over-year appreciation is still close to 20%, but it’s clearly plateauing at that rate. Many experts believe it will drop below 15% by the end of the year. Keep in mind, that doesn’t mean home values will depreciate. It means the rate of appreciation will slow, yet stay well above the 25-year average of 5.1%.

>>What about next year?
Most experts believe that as more housing inventory comes to market, the supply and demand for housing will come more into balance. That balance will bring a lower rate of appreciation in 2022. While the projected rate of appreciation varies among the experts, due to things like supply chain challenges, virus variants, and more, it’s clear that home values will continue to appreciate next year.
