OK, first off, yes, all agents seem to always say “hey, it’s never been a better time to sell”, its like the boy who cried wolf – we’re all immune to it by now, I get it. That being said…. it may be a great time to sell your Rockford home and here are a few reasons why:
- Inventory is low
- Inventory is low
- Inventory is low
Did I mention the inventory is low?
🙂 Obviously the low interest rates (still well below 4%) and spring fever just around the corner doesn’t hurt either. In the last 13 years I’ve been a full time Rockford real estate agent the inventory has always been around 17-21 homes for sale at all times, as of today there are only 7 available. Lower inventory may just lead to home buyers fighting over your property.
Compared to our neighbors, Buffalo & Delano here is how the inventory stacks up:
Rockford active homes
7 available (only 1 between $100,000 & $200,000)
Buffalo active homes
72 available (30 between $100,000 & $200,000)
Delano active homes
40 available (12 between $100,000 & $200,000)
Why does home inventory matter? Its that good old “supply & demand” we’ve all heard of. We have Rockford buyers looking for a home but we don’t have enough inventory to show them which will put more money in sellers pockets.
