What Does This Data Mean?
With three more months left in 2017, it looks like we are on track to close a few more homes than were sold in 2016.
Inventory of homes for sale continues to be low and this month we have 6% fewer homes for sale in the Omaha area than the same time last year. The number of pending homes slowed considerably from last month to this month and we are at -1%. With considerably fewer homes going under contract the market is slowing despite the shortage of homes and as a result, we should expect to see fewer home sales next month.
This shortage of homes on the market drove prices up this month. Because of there are significantly fewer homes under contract this month, home prices could begin to drop next month, despite the home shortage.
How Can this Data Help if You Are Buying a House in Omaha?
The housing market is slowing down a bit compared to earlier in the year and we are still in a seller’s market. We have fewer homes pending than a year ago which means there will be fewer home sales next month, in October. If fewer homes sell in the Omaha Real Estate Market we should expect to see home prices stalling or starting to drop in October.
Omaha home owners considering moving should do so while we are still in a home seller’s market here in Omaha Nebraska to ensure you receive the highest value for your home. Interest rates are still low and the Omaha real estate market trend for buyer demand for homes in the winter months typically drops leaving only serious home buyers.
Where is the Benefit of this Data if You Are Selling a House in Omaha?
The biggest challenge facing home seller’s is finding a home to buy once their home is sold. One of the market trends this is creating is a Ghost Inventory of homes for sale – a growing list homes that “could” be coming on the market that few people know about. We are seeing an increase in home owner’s insisting on finding a home first before their home comes on the market. While the Omaha real estate market has slowed down since the Spring, it is still a seller’s market. For that reason, most seller paid concessions are for first time home buyers in homes priced under $200k.
