According to Realtor.com via the **River Front Times, the St. Louis metro area will be the nation's second hottest real estate market in 2016. "Next year looks to be the best year St. Louis has had in quite some time," says Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for Realtor.com. "We've been seeing strong demand in St. Louis, and if anything, it's starting to heat up even more."
Wow, this has a lot of implications! The good news is this could potentially mean that your current home value could go up, making it a perfect time to sell or perhaps refinance. And if you are in the market for a new home in the St. Louis metro area, start the process early.
"If you're planning to buy next year, start early," Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for Realtor.com, cautions. "There's more inventory on the market relative to the people who want to buy in January and February compared to May, June and July. That tilts the demand in your favor."
What an exciting time for our community, but it could be costly if you wait too late in the year to purchase and prices have increased.
