Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Home in Southlake, Texas and Surrounding Areas?

Are you wondering about the current state of the housing market? Today, we're diving deep into the question on everyone's minds: Is now a good time to buy a home? So, if you're contemplating homeownership or simply curious about market conditions, keep watching because I've got the scoop.

Hey there, Jenevieve Croall here with JLUX Homes. You've probably heard about the challenges we're facing in the market—higher mortgage rates, low inventory, and soaring home prices. It's a triple whammy that can leave anyone feeling uncertain. At present, the supply of existing homes on the market is around 2.5 months in both Denton & Tarrant County. That means if no other homes come on the market after today with the current number of buyers we have, it would only take less than months before all inventory of homes is sold and there’s no other homes on the market. This scarcity of available homes has propped up demand in many areas, resulting in higher home prices. In fact, inventory is approximately 46% below the historical average dating back to 1999. Given this information, you might wonder, Is it the right time to buy a home amidst these challenges? Well, the answer is different for everyone. It's all about your unique circumstances and financial position. Here's what I do know... Waiting for the perfect moment to buy can be a risky game, as market fluctuations are unpredictable. And buyers sitting on the sidelines hoping for home prices to lower may end up very disappointed. Instead, focus on your financial readiness and finding a home that suits your needs and budget. Also, be sure to factor into your decision the long-term benefits of homeownership. Real estate always has been and will be a great way to build equity and net worth over time. It's an investment in your future. If you're considering buying, let's have a conversation. Having an expert by your side in this competitive market can make all the difference.
