Did anyone catch the news tonight? Lester Holt confirmed that this is in fact the worst time for buyers since the financial crisis of 2008. It’s simple supply and demand. More people want to buy than people want to sell. Lack of new construction doesn’t help either. This isn’t just in DC. All over the country “starter homes” are skyrocketing in price thanks to multiple offers. They profiled a small home in California that had increased in value by $200k in just two years.
