Even amidst concerns about mortgage rate increases affecting buyer demand, data indicates a persistent interest among potential buyers in the housing market. While the market may not echo the frenzy of the past 'unicorn' years characterized by historically low mortgage rates and soaring home values, it remains active with buyer activity showing promising signs.
National Trends and Knoxville, TN Home Statistics
Despite the rise in mortgage rates, national buyer demand remains notably higher compared to pre-'unicorn' years. The ShowingTime Showing Index, depicted in the graph below, exhibits buyer tour activity over the last eight Octobers, highlighting sustained interest even after the 'unicorn' years.
However, increased buyer activity isn't solely reflected in tours but extends to multiple offers received by sellers. The latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) suggests that sellers are still obtaining an average of 2.5 offers on their properties, as illustrated in the graph below.
Homes Priced Right Are in High Demand
It's crucial to note that homes priced appropriately are moving swiftly. Zillow highlights that low inventory levels are fostering robust competition among buyers, resulting in properties being sold at a brisk pace.
