Most things have been affected by the pandemic, including the housing market. But you might be surprised to learn that the housing market in Charleston has been thriving, and we predict it will continue to do so! A new wave of buyers and sellers is fostering high competition, resulting in many homes selling quickly with multiple offers. This era of real estate is one of the most profitable times for sellers, and more times than not, we are seeing homeowners get over asking price for their homes. If you’re waiting to sell your home, you might be missing out on more money in your pocket than you thought possible! 

Why is now the perfect time to sell?

Whether you plan on downsizing or upgrading your current home, our real estate experts are saying that now is the perfect time to make your move. Several factors contribute to this “perfect storm” in the marketplace, meaning that if you take advantage of the current market, you will be looking at a significant return on your sale. 

Low Mortgage Rates

Nationwide, buyers are seeing the best mortgage rates in decades. With lower rates, more families and individuals can afford homes in the area. This opens opportunities for buyers and creates the need for more homes in Charleston. Plus, low mortgage rates will save you money on monthly mortgage payments and reduce the interest you will pay overtime for your new home! 

High Demand for Housing

With rental prices in the area increasing, many residents are looking to purchase their own homes to escape high leases. As a result, many homes on the market receive multiple offers, above the asking price, within days of listing. In fact, some buyers are putting offers on homes without even seeing the property in person (thanks to Zoom and FaceTime)! Many people see the value in owning a home and seek options in the area to replace rentals. 

In addition, with remote work becoming widely popular, workers no longer need to live close to their office, allowing many to explore new areas outside of the city. This has led to more buyers entering markets that would not have been feasible with their old commute. People are beginning to settle into their dream locations before they thought possible! 

Low Supply 

Luckily, even with the highly competitive market, families and individuals are not discouraged and continue to search for the perfect home. Due to the limited supply, it is creating an excellent opportunity for sellers in Charleston.
