HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Did you know that Wichita has never seen such low housing inventory?! The housing market has been on fire this past year with record-low mortgage rates and a sudden wave of relocations made possible by remote work and schooling. Meanwhile, home prices have pushed new boundaries as buyer demand continues to surge. Residential construction continues to face limiting factors, including higher costs and longer delivery times for building materials, an ongoing labor skills shortage, and concerns over regulatory cost burdens. Home buyers’ choices are increasingly limited. The number of homes for sale across South Central Kansas sank to an all-time low in December, dipping below 1700 for the first time ever! Our inventory is down 39.3% and buyer activity is up compared to 2019. Home buyer demand remains high into January, causing bidding wars for the few homes on the market. Home prices are up by double-digit numbers compared to a year ago.

“The shortage of homes for sale has been an ongoing issue for the last couple of years, but in December, the combination of the holiday inventory slowdown and the pandemic buying trend caused it to dip to its lowest level in history,” says Danielle Hale, realtor.com®’s chief economist. “Looking forward, we could see new lows in the next couple of months as buyers remain relatively active. Thinking of Selling? Now could be the perfect time! Low interest rates combined with the equity in your current home, you could have the opportunity to step into a larger or more luxury home without the additional monthly cost!
