Here are the best times to sell a house
  
Conventional wisdom has long held that the best time to sell a house is in the spring and summer months. But does the conventional wisdom hold up to cold, hard facts? 

Property data company ATTOM Data Solutions analyzed nearly 15 million home sales between 2011 and 2017. Here’s some of what they found: 
  • May is the best month to sell a home. Homes sold in this month received on average Why do warmer months perform better? According to Realtor.com, selling a house in warmer weather means more accurate comps (since more area homes are selling), blue skies and bright flowers (which improve the appeal of nearly every property), and heavy competition for homes (which sometimes results in bidding wars).5.9% more than their estimated market value.
  • April, May, June, and July present the top months for selling a home.
  • Avoid — if you can — the final quarter of the year unless you’re in a warm weather climate.
 
Attom broke it down further, identifying not only the best months to sell but the five best DAYS, too. They are: 
  1. June 28: The seller premium is 9.1% above market
  2. February 15: 9% above market
  3. May 31: 8.3% above market
  4. May 29: 8.2% above market
  5. June 21: 8.1% above market

How Far Has the Economy Fallen in a Month? Team Thayer #realestate #housing #economic ##market #news #oregon

If the  May  Wall Street Journal  economist survey  is any indication, the economy is a lot worse off than it was as recently as a month ago. In the last three surveys conducted by the  Journal  in which economists are asked when they think the Federal Reserve  will next raise the federal funds target rate, the consensus answer has been June. In April’s survey, three-quarters of economists surveyed said they believe that a rate hike by the Fed will be announced at the next FOMC meeting on June 14 and 15. May’s survey told a different story, however. Less than a third (31 percent) out of the 70 economists surveyed said they believe the rate hike will take place in June; 21 percent said they believe it will take place in July. The same percentage of economists who believe that a June rate hike will take place (31 percent) said they think it will take place in September. What happened to the economy in the last month? A couple of setbacks—first,...

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales. For February 2016, the distressed sales share declined by 2.9 percentage points over-the-year (and 0.4 percentage points over-the month) down to 11 percent, according to  data released by CoreLogic  on Thursday. At their peak in January 2009, distressed sales accounted for nearly one-third of all residential home sales (32.4 percent) but has been declining steadily since then. By comparison, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was typically around 2 percent; CoreLogic estimates that if the current rate of year-over-year decline continues, the distressed sales share will reach the “normal” pre-crisis level in slightly more than two years. “Prior to the housing crash, the distressed share of total...
