Low Inventory in Whangarei is a Win for Sellers.

When the demand for homes is higher than what’s available for sale, it’s a great time for homeowners to sell their house. That is absolutely the case here in Whangarei at the moment!
​ Here are three ways low inventory can help you win if you’re ready to make a move this spring/summer.

1. Higher Prices
With so many more buyers in the market than homes available for sale, homebuyers are frequently entering into bidding wars for the houses they want to purchase. This buyer competition drives home prices up. As a seller, this can definitely work to your advantage, potentially netting you more for your house when you close the deal.

2. Greater Return on Your Investment
Rising prices mean homes are also gaining value, which drives an increase in the equity you have in your home. 

3. Better Terms
When we’re in a sellers’ market like we are today, you’re in the driver’s seat if you sell your house. You have the power to sell on your terms, and buyers are more likely to work with you if it means they can finally move into their dream home. The buyer that is best able to meet your terms will win in a multi-offer situation, or, at the auction.

So, is low housing inventory a big deal?
Yes, especially if you want to sell your house at the perfect time. Today’s market gives sellers immense negotiating power. However, it won’t last forever, especially as more sellers return to the housing market next year. If you’re considering selling your house, the best time to do so is now.
