Lewis Center OH Real Estate Market Report May 2016

Low inventory has been the story on the national housing market, and the Lewis Center OH real estate market is no exception. The low housing inventory and increased buyer demand has brought home prices up nationwide.

In the current Lewis Center Seller's Market, home buyers may be struggling to find their dream home. While high demand and low inventory may be great for sellers, for buyers this potentially means difficulty finding a home, multiple offers when they do find a home, and offers that are above asking price.

But buyers, don't throw in the towel! Because with both interest rates and prices in Lewis Center predicted to rise, it is still an ideal time to lock in a fantastic rate and get a good value long term on Lewis Center OH real estate.
