What is Causing Home Prices to Soar in Lewisville-Clemmons?

Several things are causing Lewisville-Clemmons area home prices to increase.  First, Western Forsyth County is one of the most desirable areas in the county.  It's an area with good schools, and a smaller town feel where most people are hoping to raise their families. Plus, you're still only fifteen minutes to Downtown Winston-Salem

Second, there just aren't enough homes for sale.  This has been a continued discussion over the last few years.  July 2020 saw Lewisville-Clemmons inventory of homes for sale fall to 150, which is a decrease of over 28% from the previous July.  This means there are only 2.2 months supply of inventory, which is well below balance making it a strong sellers' market.  Fewer new listings in July, mentioned previously, doesn't help.

Thirdly, the Millenials are at the prime home buying age.  Many of the home sales today are in the Millenial age range.  Millenials are one of the largest generations since the Baby Boomers.  So again, supply and demand.  Lots of people trying to buy the few houses on the market for sale.

Finally, interest rates, which were already at rates that seem couldn't go any lower...are going lower.  So, even in a Pandemic, the Lewisville-Clemmons residential real estate market has been 🔥🔥🔥.  This is mostly due to the Fed propping up the economy with an unlimited supply of dollar bills.  All this means our hard earned money is worth less and less.  It's really just simple supply and demand.  The greater supply of dollars means they are worth less since supply and demand have inverse relationship.  Or you could say that an oversupply of dollars is devaluing the dollar.  As a side note, finding alternative sources to fight inflation is key to your long-term financial success.  Even Warren Buffet is saying to consider gold or crypto currencies like Bitcoin to hedge inflation.  Not to rabbit trail too far, but one of the largest financial companies in the world, Fidelity, is recommending Bitcoin for their clients in a recent 19-page Bitcoin Investment Thesis report.

Are You Thinking About Buying or Selling a Lewisville-Clemmons Home?

With all the talk about soaring home prices and low housing inventory, it's still a fantastic time to buy or sell your home right now.  Will Lewisville-Clemmons home prices go higher?  Most likely.  Historically, home prices have risen fairly steady with a few dips along the way.  With the current COVID situation, we could fall into a more serious recession.  Who knows at this point.  But over most any ten year period, home prices will be higher than before.  There's a good chance if you bought over the last several years, you have equity and could make money selling your home.  With these even lower historical low interest rates, you could get waaayyyy more house than you could even a year ago. 

Obviously, we had a real estate bubble during the Great Recession of 2008-2011 and home prices fell. But we have more than recovered those fallen prices as you can see in the Case-Schiller Home Price Index chart below.  Is a home an investment?  Of course it is.  But it's also "home".  A home where you rest, relax, grow, raise a family, and make memories.  So, a home's value might fall...maybe...but there's a much larger chance the value goes up.  And you get to enjoy all of the benefits of owning that home along the way.
