If you’ve been thinking about buying a new home, housing economist like REALTOR.com now say the week of Nov. 3 to Nov. 9 when seasonal real estate market dynamics line up in favor of buyers in the Raleigh area real estate market is the best time in the remaining time in 2024 to buy a home!
This is according to this article dated November 1, 2024 on Realtor.com by Julie Taylor.
Whether you’re a renter who has grown weary of paying someone else’s mortgage, looking to downsize, relocating to Johnston County, or simply ready for a fresh start from the home you purchased during the crazy Covid years, RiverWILD Homes has you covered with an incredible combination of favorable market conditions and builder incentives.
Life Events Drive Real Estate Decisions
Before we dive into all the reasons that could make you move, it’s important to understand life events will often dictate when to buy (and sell). Major life events (both joyous and sad) include:
- Birth of a baby (Diapers)
- Recent graduate heading to college (Diplomas)
- Joining households-Marriage (Diamonds)
- Foreclosure (Distress)
- Passing of a family member (Death)
- Relocation due to a job change
- Downsizing
- Renters ready to buy
- Retirement
Here’s why the week of November 3rd through November 9th stands out above the rest. Homebuyers could see home values as much as $25,000 below this year’s peak price. Local home builders are offering huge year-end promotions like no other time this year!
That leaves buyers with plenty of cash to buy appliances, a big screen TV, furniture and have a little left over for those holiday gifts!
Interest Rates Are Trending Lower
Mortgage rates have been trending downward, hitting their lowest point in over a year at around 6.21%. Lower interest rates can significantly impact your monthly mortgage payment saving you hundreds of dollars, allowing you to afford more home for less money. This could be your opportunity to lock in a rate, saving you thousands over the life of your loan.
More Johnston County Homes Means More Choices
Unlike other times of the year when you may struggle to find the right home due to low inventory, this week offers an abundance of options. Johnston County new home inventory is peaking. This means buyers have more properties to choose from. Over 61% of the total Johnston County inventory is new construction.
Whether you’re looking for a charming ranch-style home, or a spacious two-story layout, RiverWILD Homes has a variety of homes available right now. Be sure to view all of the RiverWILD Homes floor plans here.
More options means you’re more likely to find the perfect match for your lifestyle and needs.
Less Competition from Other Johnston County Buyers
With summer buying season in the rearview mirror, the Johnston County real estate market is quieter than usual. Fewer buyers are out searching for homes, which means less competition for you! Lower competition not only increases your chances of landing your dream home, but it also often leads to reduced upfront costs like lower due diligence fees and earnest money deposits. In short, buying now can save you both time and money.
Don’t forget, buyers who choose Johnston County over Wake County experience less difficulties buying a home! Read this post to see what we mean.
