Most Americans Believe It's Time to Think About Selling


David C. Witt is a licensed and successful real estate agent with more than three decades of experience, and has served as a broker sales agent with Realty Professionals Heartland LLC, in Blue Springs, Missouri for the past 10 years. Committed to expanding his expertise and keeping up with current trends in the real estate industry, David C. Witt is a long-time member of the National Association of Realtors.

According to a recent survey by the National Association of Realtors in September 2018, more than three quarters of Americans think that now is the time to hit the market and sell a home. In contrast, only 45 percent of Americans think buying is a good idea, down from 49 percent in the second quarter of 2018. The long trend of growth in real estate value and home prices is one of the major factors driving confidence in selling according to NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. He says that consumers may sense that the growth curve could soon become stagnant after such a long upturn, informing their opinion that now is the time to sell.
