What are the chances any homes in River Hill go up for sale in the next couple years? The market as it stands is ridiculous, and availability is so scarce too. Just wanted to pick your guys brains for thoughts or expertise

Almost 100% that one or more will go on the market this spring.

For sure. A lot of original owners who bought in the late 1990s are now empty nesters and approaching retirement so I wouldn't be surprised if they started selling soon. Many new families have moved in over the last 3 years.

Wait like 2 more months for the market to pick up. People want to sell their houses such that they move during the summer, so their kid can start the next school year at the new house/school. That's why houses go up for sale in the spring.

I'm guessing the odds that one household took out an ARM during the low interest years will be over their heads in 1-4 years.

And they’ll still sell for a high price or refi into a longer 30 with less financed. I don’t see what would cause RH to become inexpensive other than a severe recession heavily impacting the DMV job market which recessions hardly do.

Inventory will pick up in the spring and summer but may still be quite low. There should be more homes on the market coming up soon. This month, there’s hardly anything in the entire town or county. As a local realtor, it’s been tough!

Contact Northrop Group at Long and Foster. We just found an off market place in River Hill after looking for 18 months only because of them.

With that being said, prices are still high and sellers have good control of negotiation but low supply will do that. I am not sure what drops demand in RH as people want the schools and community it seems.

Hate to say it but that’s how we got our house 20 years ago in a hot market- bought it before it hit MLS at asking price.

People end up needing to move for all different reasons so surely there will be at least a few that go up for sale

There will for sure be some for sale, just a matter of how much it will cost.
