Hey, something positive: the interest rates moved sideways to slightly down in the last two weeks, 15 years from 3.0% :D
I know 5 people in my close circle. 4 successfully sold in Jan/Feb. At top prices. However, 3 condominiums, 1 single-family house due to new construction. The 5th is currently losing buyers because the financing of potential buyers (primarily 25-35 years old, corresponding to first-time buyers, little equity) is falling through. The others got top deals. Properties are tax-free after 10 years – and everyone knows how prices have developed in the last 10, 15 years.Well, I actually suspect that it’s not that significantly more people want to sell something, but rather that not quite as many potential buyers come across it, and therefore the items stay on the portals a bit longer. From the private environment, the reasons for sales are rather diverse: divorce, need for care, partner passes away, job change in a new location or also moving to a new place after retirement. Accordingly, "what comes after" is also rather diverse (nursing home/rent/new property adapted to new circumstances/moved in rent or ownership to someone else/and uh... underground). Personally, I do not know anyone who now still wants to sell "quickly quickly" out of fear of missing the opportunity, but my sample is rather small ;)
I'm building my garden shed. But will it actually happen?
So far, I don't have the impression that there are more foreclosures here than usual.I don't have reliable figures right now, but it feels like more and more foreclosures are appearing on the portals. In any case, there has been a clear increase for some time now. However, I only look in my region. Do you also get that impression in your area?
