An important factor shaping today\u2019s market is the number of homes for sale<\/a>. And, if you\u2019re considering whether or not to list your house<\/a>, that\u2019s one of the biggest advantages you have right now. When housing inventory<\/a> is this low, your house will stand out, especially if it\u2019s priced right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are some early signs that more listings are coming. According to the latest data<\/a>, new listings (homeowners who just put their house up for sale) are trending up. Here\u2019s a look at why this is noteworthy and what it may mean for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Homes Are Coming onto the Market than Usual<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s well known that the busiest time in the housing market<\/a> each year is the spring buying season. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a predictable increase in the volume of newly listed homes throughout the first half of the year. Sellers<\/a> are anticipating this and ramping up for the months when buyers are most active<\/a>. But, as the school year kicks off and as the holidays approach, the market cools. It\u2019s what\u2019s expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s what\u2019s surprising. Based on the latest data<\/a> from Realtor.com<\/em>, there\u2019s an increase in the number of sellers listing their houses later this year than usual. A peak this late in the year isn\u2019t typical.<\/strong> You can see both the normal seasonal trend and the unusual August in the graph below:<\/a>As Realtor.com<\/em> explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhile inventory continues to be in short supply, <\/em>August witnessed an unusual uptick in newly listed homes compared to July, hopefully signaling a return in seller activity heading toward the fall season<\/em><\/strong> . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While this is only one month of data, it\u2019s unusual enough to note. It\u2019s still too early to say for sure if this trend will continue, but it\u2019s something you\u2019ll want to stay ahead of if it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What This Means for You<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been putting off selling your house, now may be the sweet spot to make your move. That\u2019s because, if this trend continues, you\u2019ll have more competition the longer you wait. And if your neighbor puts their house up for sale too, it means you may have to share buyers\u2019 attention with that other homeowner. If you sell now, you can beat your neighbors to the punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, even with more homes coming onto the market, the market is still well <\/strong>below normal<\/strong><\/a> supply levels. <\/strong>And, that inventory deficit<\/a> isn\u2019t going to be reversed overnight. The graph below helps put this into context, so you can see the opportunity you still have now: <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though inventory is still low, you don\u2019t want to wait for more competition to pop up in your neighborhood. You still have an incredible opportunity if you sell your house today.
