Despite uncertain times, 2020 is a great year to sell your house. Everything is pointing to a year with a hot real estate market. Take advantage now.

The Fed moved to a dovish stance in 2019. Combine that with economic growth, more jobs, and steady interest rates, and you have a good market for sellers.

We've taken a look at the trends and forecasts and put together a guide to why you should sell your house in 2020. Read on to learn more.

More Buyers Than Expected

One of the factors needed for a hot real estate market is to have more buyers than sellers. Younger buyers are still entering the market. As a result, houses at the lower end of the price range in your area are selling well. 

If your house is in a higher price bracket you could always look for a company who buys houses. You might get a lower price than you hoped for but you'll be able to sell quickly and easily.

Thirty-seven percent of house buyers in 2020 will be Millenials. This is great for you as a seller. With tech-savvy buyers, you can use digital selling tools to make your home appeal to this segment of the market.

House Prices Rising

Experts are predicting that house prices will continue to rise in 2020. They are predicting a slightly smaller increase than the previous 3 years, but it's still growth. 

As a seller, you want to see that growth. And although there are more buyers coming on the market, the increase in house prices will affect some of that market. Even so, it still makes for a hot real estate market for sellers.

2020 More Financially Stable Than Predicted 

In 2019, financial experts were predicting a possible dip in the financial situation in 2020. Now, most experts have shifted that prediction to 2021. This makes 2020 a good year in which to sell your house. 

Interest Rates Remaining Low Helps Hot Real Estate Market

Interest rates are remaining low, too. The expected interest rate of about 3.7 percent isn't quite as good as it has been in recent years, but it's still an incentive for buyers to get into the market.

As a seller, you'll also appreciate the interest-rate stability when you sell your house and go to buy a new one.

2021 Looks Less Financially Predictable

As 2020 progresses we'll move towards the presidential election. Uncertainty about who will be the next president and what that means for the economy will slide into 2021. This will make 2020 a hot real estate market.

Take advantage of the unpredictability of 2021 by selling your house this year. 

According to one report in late 2019, 75 percent of economy experts were predicting that 2021 would see the US economy move to a recession status. If the economy does slow down or even shift to a recession, selling your house will be much harder.

Get Into the Hot Real Estate Market

With all these reasons on your side as a seller, it's time to get ready to sell your house in this hot real estate market. 

Take advantage of a younger, smarter group of buyers, low-interest rates, continued house-price growth, and a more stable economic present.
