An important factor in today’s market is the number of homes for sale. While inventory levels continue to sit near historic lows, there are indications we may have hit the lowest point we’ll see. Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist at First American, recently said of our supply challenges:
“It looks like inventory may have hit a bottom (we’ve seen this in the higher frequency data as well). Unsold inventory in May was at 2.5 months supply, up from 2.4.”
To put it into perspective, the graph below shows levels of inventory rising since the beginning of the year:
We’re still not close to a balanced market, which would be a 6 months’ supply of homes for sale. However, we are seeing a slow but steady increase in homes coming up for sale. And that leaves many buyers and sellers wondering the same thing: what does that mean for me?
Buyers: More Options Are Arriving, so It’s Time To Act
If you’re a buyer, more inventory coming to market is a welcome sight. More supply means more options and less competition, which could mean fewer bidding wars.
“In June, newly listed homes grew by 5.5% on a year-over-year basis, and by 10.9% on a month-over-month basis. Typically, fewer newly listed homes appear on the market in the month of June compared to May. This year, growth in new listings is continuing later into the summer season, a welcome sign for a tight housing market.”
If you’re having trouble finding your next home, this news should give you the hope and motivation to keep your buying process moving forward. Experts project mortgage rates will begin increasing, which will make purchasing a home less affordable as time passes. You can still capitalize on today’s low interest rates, so stick with your search as more homes come to market.
Sellers: Our Supply Challenges Aren’t Over Yet, so Now Is the Time To Sell
If you’ve been putting off selling your house, you shouldn’t wait much longer. The year’s month-over-month gains in homes for sale have helped buyers, but we’re still very much in a sellers’ market.
As the graph below shows, even with the number of homes for sale rising, we’re still well below the supply levels we’ve seen historically:
Of course, more homes are coming to market now, and more are expected in the coming months. Selling your house this summer gives you the chance to get ahead of the competition and maximize your sales potential before more homes are put up for sale in your neighborhood.
Bottom Line
More homes for sale means more options for buyers and more competition for sellers. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, let’s connect today to discuss your options and why it’s still a good time to make your move.

The continued inventory shortage experienced by most regions of the country was evident in Lake of the Woods again in 2019. Listings increased only 6.4%, from 373 in 2018 to 397 in 2019, while closed sales were up 28.6%. New construction accounted for 30 of the 301 sales. The median sold price increased a healthy 8% year over year from $249,900 to $270,000.
Of the 301 total sales reported in 2019, only 5, or 1 1/2%, were either short sales or foreclosures. At the height of the distressed real estate market in 2010, a whopping 43% of all sales were either short sales or foreclosures.
So let’s look at our steady growth over the past five years:
In 2015, there were 247 sales, with 15% being distressed.
Those total sales represented almost a 30% gain over 2014, and the median sales
price was $210,000.
In 2016, the market was quite flat compared to 2015 in
regards to total sales, which held at 243 with a decrease in distressed sales
to 11.1. However, 2016 saw the median price jump to $225,000, a healthy 7.1%
increase.
In 2017, there were 294 total sales, a whopping 21.1%
increase over 2016 with only 5.8% being distressed. The median sales price
climbed to $239,000.
Average days on the market (DOM), which is the number of
days it takes from the time a property is listed until it goes under contract,
has steadily declined from 127 in 2015 to 57 in 2019.
It’s also telling to note that a significant number of lots
have sold in the past five years. From
January 1, 2015-Decemeber 31, 2019, 184 lots exchanged, with 41 occurring in
2019, down from 55 in 2018. There simply aren’t that many lots left in LOW.
New construction has been climbing, as well. 2015 realized
41 new construction starts; in 2016, there were 28; in 2017, there were 30; in
2018, there were 34; and in 2019, there were 48.
In 2020, according to Freddie Mac and the Mortgage Bankers
Association, mortgage rates are expected to stay within the 3.7-3.9% range.
The prognosis for 2020, as it was in 2019, is excellent! In LOW, there are 57 homes active on the market as of 1/14/2020. In January of 2018, there were 62. Low, stable rates and hopefully more inventory should propel us to experience healthy sales and appreciation.
