Real Estate Appears to be Leveling Out
Real estate appears to be stabilizing across the Country
A recent report shows improvement in real estate across the country. St. Louis real estate seems to be leveling as well. The well known S&P/Case-Schiller index shows that the 10 city index and the 20 city index a marked improvement in real estate in the majority of cities that it tracks. What the reports displays are small improvements or minimal devaluation in home values. Home values are up anywhere from .1% to 3.4% in ten cities. In other areas real estate values have remained flat and in harder hit areas home values are decreasing at significantly lower rates.
While the news is certainly not staggering it is encouraging because it indicates that real estate markets across the Country and right here, in St. Louis, are leveling out. Home values are falling less sharply and people are being drawn back into the real estate market. It is no surprise what is stimulating the market. Low home values, low interest rates and the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit have combined to create an ideal buyer’s market.
