Real estate slump not as bad as it seems
The number of unsold homes sitting on the market has jumped almost 50 percent on the past year. The sale of single family homes is down 3 percent while condo sales are down 11 percent. And that’s just in the past few months. If you are trying to sell your home, this is a bit discouraging. But it really depends on where you are. If you on either coast, in a beach area, or in Washington DC and Florida, you could be in for some frustrating times. People are mostly renting in these bubble markets, so selling a home is even tougher. But the sky is not falling, so don’t fret. Even in a time when supply outruns demand, prices don’t drop like a rock. They just hang around, and that’s what you should do. As for buyers, opportunities are plentiful in these bubble areas, especially if you are looking at a condo.
