SIDNEY — With the introduction of a new sales program, 2016 was another good year for Client’s Choice Realty.

“The program is simple,” said Jaime Weldy, Realtor. “We will have your home under contract within 60 days, or we will reduce our fees by 20 percent.”

Weldy’s report continues:

This program ensures prospective clients that we are going to work hard to sell their property in as little time as possible.

The New Year brings change to the market. According to Realtor.com, here are three of the top trends you can expect to see in 2017:

1. Millennials and boomers will dominate the market –– Next year, the housing market will be in the middle of two massive demographic waves, millennials and baby boomers – that will power demand for at least the next 10 years. Although increasing interest rates have prompted realtor.com to lower its prediction of millennial market share to 33 percent of the buyer pool; millennials and baby boomers will still comprise the majority of the market. Baby boomers are expected to make up 30 percent of buyers in 2017 and given they’re less dependent on financing, they are anticipated to be more successful when it comes to closing.

2. Slowing price appreciation – Nationally, home prices are forecast to slow to 3.9 percent growth year over year, from an estimated 4.9 percent in 2016. Of the top 100 largest metros in the country, 26 markets are expected to see price acceleration of 1 percent point or more.

3. Fewer homes on the market and fast moving markets – Inventory is currently down an average of 11 percent in the top 100 metros in the U.S. The conditions that are limiting home supply are not expected to change in 2017. Median age of inventory is currently 68 days in the top 100 metros, which is 14 percent – or 11 days – faster than U.S. overall.

Client’s Choice Realty will be here to serve all parties interested in buying, investing and selling real estate in 2017 and beyond.
