Homes selling above listing price finally on the decline

March 15, 2019

Homes Selling For Above Listing Price Finally On The Decline

Thanks to the historic inventory shortage, competition for homes in markets across the country has been fierce, and Green Valley has been no exception. That competition has driven up home prices. For more than a year, it has not been uncommon for homes to sell for above the listing price.

But it looks like that trend is finally starting to shift, which is excellent news for buyers.

A recent article from Zillow reports the number of homes selling for above the asking price saw steady declines in the second half of 2018. In December, only 19.4 percent of homes in the US sold for above the asking price—the lowest rate in nearly three years.

So if you’ve been thinking about buying a home, now is a great time to make a move. The fact that fewer homes are selling for above the asking price means that competition is finally starting to cool — so you should be able to get a much better deal on your home purchase.

TESTIMONIALS

"I was able to see Russ in action when he helped my aunt and uncle buy a house here in Green Valley. He is very knowledgeable about this area and the home buying process. He went above and beyond in many ways: showing lots of houses, pointing out pros and cons of each house, helping decide on an offering price and recommending a good loan agent. Russ is everything a real estate agent should be and I highly recommend him."
- L.S., Green Valley AZ
"Couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor!! Russ was very friendly and professional, very knowledgeable, great at negotiating and had a great strategy for everything. He kept us up to date and did all the heavy lifting for us. He took the time to find houses that matched our needs, took care of setting up our inspections and handled any issues that came up during the process. Russ made the house buying process smooth and stress free. Really can’t say enough good things about Russ. We had zero complaints. We definitely recommend using Russ as your Realtor. "

"Russ knows all the ins and outs of Sonora at Rancho Sahuarita and his knowledge was really helpful. I had already moved out of the area and he had good people lined up to fix up the minor things that were required in the inspection. "
