The V-shaped housing recovery continues. New Home Sales soared in June to a level higher than the one they reached before the shutdown–up 13.8% for the month, posting their highest annual sales rate since 2007! Existing Home Sales spiked 20.7% in June, their biggest monthly gain ever. Sales are still down 11.3% from a year ago, but demand is strong–62% of homes sold were on the market less than a month. Attom Data reports the typical home-sale profit hit $75,971 in the second quarter this year. That’s a 36.3% return on investment (ROI) from the original price for home sellers, a new post-recession high. We continue seeing these positive economic numbers from the real estate market. With record low interest rates and a shortage of homes on the market, this could be the time to capitalize on it. Selling, buying and investing in Real Estate is an amazing opportunity right now.
