Interest Rates Rise, Buyers Panic

As the rates have gone up a staggering 1 + % over the past few days some buyers are being forced out of the market completely, that little bump adds quite a bit to a payment that pushes some out of the market. Buyers that have been looking, are finding little to no inventory, they are desperate to find a home and lock it in now. If they have been sitting on the fence waiting this was a huge wake up call. Sellers are really in a good position at this point in time, the housing market has had an increase, how far this will go is questionable as so much depends on the economic conditions that are improving however are still uncertain . If you are thinking of selling call me for a consultation and a wonderful pre listing packet that prepares you for the selling process and gets your home in its best condition for a top dollar sales price.
