As the media continues to
report about higher housing prices and bidding wars, they sometimes neglect to
mention how few houses there are for sale. You can see the latest market
updates for Concord, Wayland, Sudbury, Maynard, and Stow at www.marilynmessenger.com.
Why is inventory so low? It
easy to blame the weather, but we always have winter in MA, so why else? More
money: people think if they wait they'll sell for more money. While that may be
true, they will also pay more when they buy their next home, and if interest
rates go up they will end up with less money in the end.
Another reason is
"gridlock." Most homeowners who would like to move need to sell their
current home before they can buy another place to live. Because there are so
few houses for sale they are afraid and that if they sell they may not have
anywhere to go. So they wait for more houses to come on the market; with so
many people waiting, we up end with gridlock.
A bridge loan might be the
solution to get people moving because it enables them to buy a new home without
having to sell first!
Here is a flyer from one of my loan officer
friends with an example of how a bridge loan would work. If you think it might
fit your needs, check it out. Call all me anytime at 508-596-3501 to learn more
