Market Trends: Here’s what’s new

With the real estate market going up and down and technology advancing in the world, it can be hard to keep up with the market trends. What you once thought was a trend, is no longer a trend. Depending on supply and demand, the market can be rather sporadic.  Social change plays a big role in the market trends because people are transforming with their jobs and moving around, thanks to the rising pressure in advancing with technology.

Market Trends: Here's what's new

One of the biggest market trends in the real estate world is that home prices are rising with fewer offers; however, homes are still selling in a relatively timely manner. Home prices have jumped almost 10%, and they are continuing to rise as the year goes on. One of the main reasons that the housing market comes to a standstill is the uncertainty of the economy. Mortgage interest rates are rising, which may discourage homebuyers from purchasing a new home.

What Do Higher Prices Mean?

Higher prices mean a seller’s market more so than a buyers market. If you are a buyer and you want to purchase a home with the market prices soaring, make sure you calculate how much home you can really afford. Don’t give in to the pressure, until you figure out if you can afford too. Remember, a down payment of less than 10% might mean that you cannot afford the home to begin with. A few market tips to prepare you for purchasing a new home would be:

  • Continue to save and put extra money away when possible
  • Sacrifice some of the wants that you don’t necessarily need
  • Try looking in a location close to the area that you want to be in
  • Look around at different options based on different budgets

Content Is Key:

With any good content, you want it to inspire people and provoke them to engage with it. The more times your content gets shared, the more people that will see it. Producing quality content in the real estate world is a major bonus because people want to see quality content. For example, if a photograph is blurry and does not offer a quality image, the content will not go as far as it would if the quality was better.

Whatever you post on social media, it is out there. The door is open and you want the communication to go both ways. Make sure everything you are doing is positive because you want everything in return to be positive. What is circulating about you is reflecting on your image, which is why producing quality and positive content is key!

Artificial Intelligence:

With the rate that artificial intelligence is growing at, you will start to see data analytics be more efficient. AI can perform many tasks more efficiently than a human that battles at doing it. You will notice with time that artificial intelligence can pick up on the behavior of humans and can use that information to target them and pick up on certain statistics. If you compare the data taking from Netflix, this is technically AI. Netflix is recommending certain movies and TV shows based on the show or movie you previously watched. The data is being stored and the trend of movies or shows you have watched is being stored away in order to recommend other shows that you might be interested in.
