We understand! The sales market has taken a sharp trajectory shift starting in August of 2022, ostensibly due to the Fed’s rate hikes which have made the affordability of purchasing a home even more daunting.
Consider this:
A monthly mortgage payment on a home purchased for $430,000 in March of 2022 when the average interest rate was 3.85% (without taxes and insurance (which is going up consistently IF you can even get insurance) would have been:
$2,016.00 per month
Compared to
A monthly mortgage payment for a home purchased for $430,000 in October of 2022 while the average interest rate is 6.7% (without taxes and insurance (which is going up consistently IF you can even get insurance) would be:
$2,775.00 per month
And let’s face it, most homes in the Lake Nona Region on average couldn’t be touched at $430,000.00
The amount of price reductions is staggering in a market when just a few months’ ago homes were flying off the market in record numbers and in most cases with offers over asking price, and with very few contingencies.
Not to mention that buyers are backing out in record numbers even though they’ve locked into a contract. The FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) that buyers are experiencing is devastating sellers. A record percentage of buyers who closed in the past 7 months say they paid to much and regret their purchase!
On top of that, the rates are expected to continue to rise as the Fed has clearly stated they are trying to correct the housing market which needs to undergo correction to make home prices affordable again.
