Still waiting for the "right time"?

𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞” 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬:

𝐈𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝟔 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟓𝟎 largest U.S. metro areas had housing inventory above pre-pandemic levels.

𝐈𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟓𝟎.

This isn’t just data. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

Markets like Austin, Denver, and Memphis now have significantly more homes available than they did in 2019, creating real chances for creative investors who know how to move when others hesitate and dawdle.

More inventory = less competition

Less competition = more negotiating power

More negotiating power = better deals for you

If you're still sitting on the sidelines, ask yourself:  what exactly are you waiting for?

@Michael Carbonare, I couldn't agree more with this. @Joe Villeneuve, you are 100% right about that! Too many "Investors" watching the stock market and news headlines and not actually studying the market and consulting with their agent and are waiting on "the right deal" just to fall in their lap. Real deals are found in #'s. Offers going out, negotiations happening, seller problems being solved. This is the best time to do it! 

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful" - Warren Buffett

This quote couldn't be more true right now!
