As the nation continues to recover from the challenges of recent years, the housing market is once again experiencing rapid growth, with demand outpacing inventory in many areas across the country.

According to an article by U.S. News & World Report, interest rates are expected to remain relatively low this summer and the market will be in favor of seller’s, meaning there are not enough homes available to match the number of active buyers. According to the report, experts say sellers will have the “upper hand” throughout the summer of 2021 and home prices are expected to climb. In February, the National Association of Realtors reported the national median home price was 15.8% higher than the prior year, a positive for those choosing to sell.
