Good News for Pooped-Out Underdog Home Buyers

"Buyer fatigue" is a new catch phrase that many Philadelphia home buyers can relate to. You may have buyer's fatigue if you can commiserate with the following statements: 

1. Every time you find a home you want to see, it is already sold?

2. When you look online and can’t find any homes that fit your criteria (due to low inventory).

3. You can't or refuse to go into a "bidding war" and offer over asking price, consider waiving inspections, or waive a mortgage or appraisal (aka "contingencies").

If you can relate to this scenario, you may feel like an underdog. If you have made it this far, don't clock-out just yet. According to Zillow, recent research published this year may actually prove to heal your wounds and make you top dog after all.

 Here's what they said...

"... more inventory is expected to soon hit the market — bringing more balance to the market and creating a smoother experience for everyone."

 "Housing demand will stay strong, sales volumes will continue to grow and more balance between home buyers and sellers will help ensure sustainable health in housing for years to come."

 Based on several other real estate markers and economic researchers' projections, it looks like home buyer demand will remain strong so more and more homes will soon hit the market. This creates a much more balanced (some might even say fair) playing field for home buyers and home sellers in our area. 

Does that mean an end to buyer fatigue? Yes, that seems to be what researchers are predicting. So if you are getting frustrated as a buyer, perhaps your moment is just around the corner as sellers restock the shelves.

 Stay on top of the new inventory in the weeks and months ahead, including homes that are not yet on the market but "coming soon".
