Highest US Home Inventory Since 1995
A new statistic out this morning by the US Census Bureau and HUD; US homes actively being marketed was at an 11 year high this past July. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the number of homes for sale was 568,000, a 22.4 per cent increase over the year and the biggest number since early 1995. However, interest rates on conventional home loans dipped a bit this morning indicating that this is probably a very good time to lock some fixed rate financing if you are planning on holding onto a particular piece of property for another 3+ years.
