More Home Buyers Can Expect Less Competition

Lowest Sales in Two Years

28 July 2022

Buying Properties

According to the Consumer Price Index, inflation is the highest it’s been in 40 years, and no doubt it has adversely impacted your budget. But how is it affecting the home you want to buy?

Inflation has fewer people using mortgages to purchase homes, thus creating less competition among homebuyers as they increasingly turn to alternative funding like Compass Bridge Loans.

What’s more, if inflation remains elevated, a dollar today will be worth more than a dollar tomorrow – or any dollars being spent during a 30-year mortgage. Most Sellers prefer cash offers, where nearly 20% of home sales nationwide involve cold hard currency.
