3 Reasons to Sell Your Oswego, IL Home Today! (Part II)

A seller's ability to sell their home in today's real estate market will be determined by both the supply of homes for sale and the demand for that housing.

A seller’s ability to sell their home in today’s real estate market will be determined by both the supply of homes for sale and the demand for that housing. In real estate, supply is represented by the current month’s supply of homes for sale (the number of homes for sale divided by the number of homes sold in the previous month).

While there is no steadfast rule that will apply to pricing in every category of housing, here is a great guideline:

  • 1-4 months’ supply creates a Sellers’ Market where there are not enough homes to satisfy buyer demand. Appreciation is guaranteed.
  • 5-6 months’ supply creates a Balanced Market. Historically home values appreciate at a rate a little greater than inflation.
  • 7-8 months’ supply creates a Buyers’ Market where the number of homes for sale exceeds the demand. Depreciation follows.
