The inventory will continue to increase as will the number of sales throughout the Spring. The effect of which will be the interest rates will rise on news that the housing marketing is improving! Then, after the tax credits go away and rates go up, those sellers who weren’t fortunate enough to sell during the Spring will get to share their misery with the Shadow Inventory that will start leaking into the market…Yikes, what a gloomy Gus I am!

Inventory always increases in the Spring in our market as sellers get their hopes up that that the market will be flush with buyers when the Spring market arrives. Rumor has it that there is an impending tsunami of foreclosures in 2010, however, so perhaps the increased inventory can also be accounted for to some degree by that. It stands to reason that with banks not increasing their lending, the tax credits expiring soon, and interest rates rising (due to the Feds stopping their program of buying mortgage-backed securities in early March), that should cause demand to taper off a bit. If inventories continue to increase due to dramatically increased numbers of foreclosures while demand decreases more than normal (due to a more strenuous lending atmosphere, high unemployment, and lack of affordability), we could be in for a very bumpy 2010 indeed.

This one great article widens our horizon towards developing real estate business. Keep it up!
