San Diego realtor Matt Huneycutt talks about why is a good time to buy a home if you have been waiting for your opportunity. And if you have been on the fence about selling, that now would be a good time to sell your home.

Is it Really a Good Time to Buy or Sell a Home?

Have you been afraid to buy in this escalating market that we're in? I got great news: Now's your time to strike. However, in this shift, it's also a fantastic time to sell if you're thinking about selling. Let me tell you why.

The Shift

We are in a shift. Right now, the housing market is still very hot, but we have an abundance of buyers who've decided to take some time off, go on vacation, leave town. What that's done is that has left a dearth of homes on the market that need to be sold.

Sellers right now have an expectation that these homes are going to be gone in a weekend. And when there are no buyers around, makes them second-guess their purchase price, their selling price. For you as a buyer, that gives you options and just a little bit more buyer power than we've seen in the last year. Sellers, you're at a point now where we're seeing some changes in the markets start to occur.

Does that mean the market's going to crash? No. But that means now is the time for you to get off at that high mark while you still have an abundance of buyers at the table before the market reacts and starts to cool off going into, and I feel like a weatherman, going into Q4 of the rest of this year.

If you're thinking about buying, you got more options and a little bit more power than you've had all year. If you're thinking about selling, I'm telling you now, you're at the top. I'm Matt Huneycutt with the Whissel Realty Group. Thanks so much for watching. Reach out if you have any questions.
