美國出售屋庫存降到新低點… 今天就該出售你的房屋!

Every summer, families across the country decide if this will be the year they sell their current house and move into their dream home.

每年夏天,許多家庭都會考慮今年是否就是出售現在的房子,搬入夢想家園的時候。

Mortgage rates have hovered around 4% for all of 2017, forcing buyers off the fence and into the market, resulting in incredibly strong demand RIGHT NOW!! At the same time, inventory levels of homes for sale have dropped dramatically as compared to this time last year.

房屋貸款利率在2017年徘徊在4%左右,使得眾多買家進入市場,導致現在非常強大的需求量!同時,與去年同期相比,出售房屋的庫存大幅下降。

Trulia reported that “U.S. home inventory has tumbled 8.9% over the past year and has now fallen for nine consecutive quarters.” There is now 20% less inventory than there was five years ago.

Trulia報導說,“美國出售屋庫存在過去一年下降了8.9%,現在已連續第九季下降。” 與五年前相比,庫存量減少了20%。
