So... yesterday was a busy day, and it got me thinking π€
I had βοΈ closings and put 3οΈβ£ π‘ under contract.
βοΈ The summer market is heating up!
Now, this isn't a brag post. The point is to share something a lot of buyers and sellers may not be thinking about.
Many homeowners are sitting on the sidelines waiting for interest rates to drop before they buy their next home and sell their current one. Here's why that might not be the best strategy π
1οΈβ£ June is typically one of the busiest months for home sales. School is out, families want to move before the next school year starts, and buyer activity is usually at its peak.
2οΈβ£ If rates do drop, more buyers are likely to jump into the market. More buyers usually means more competition, which can put upward pressure on home prices.
3οΈβ£ You can always refinance a rate later. You can't go back and buy at yesterday's price.
π‘ The opportunity right now is that many people are waiting. Less competition can be an advantage when selling, and if rates fall, the home you're planning to buy next may become more expensive too.
Point being: sometimes waiting for the "perfect" market means missing the opportunity that's already here.
Every situation is different, but here in the OKC metro, I'm seeing opportunities right now that many people are overlooking.
