When homes take longer to sell, it is just one indicator of a Recession
Therefore, what does that mean for you as a homeowner that is looking to sell? The housing market in 2019 is telling us that since homes for sale are taking longer to sell you have more competition. It will take longer to sell and keep taking longer for June 2020 and June 2021. I recommend if you had things you wanted to do before you sell you better start planning. If needed, make the necessary updates so that you stand out to a buyer.
The Housing Market Forecast
The truth is that I am not a fortune teller and even though I have a high sense of intuition – I can’t possibly predict what will happen in the future. In order to forecast the future, we have to look at the past. Let’s look at the prior years of days on the market.
In the month of June 2017 ADOM was 64, June 2018 was 55 days and in June 2019 was 63 days. There is an ongoing trend here because since 2014 the days on the market started to go less and less. We reached 55 days on the market in June 2018. Then back up again in June 2019. All the years prior ADOM we were getting less and less and then all of a sudden it goes up starting this year. Therefore, we can predict that along with significant price cuts nationwide, we are entering a buyers market, slowly.
