We emailed active users of our home search website and mobile apps who indicated they own a home. Of those who plan to sell, 7 percent said their home is already on the market, and 14 percent said they\u2019ll list within the next six months. Sixty-three percent are not sure when they\u2019ll actually put their home on the market. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seller indecision has remained a constant theme throughout the year, with similar results reported by Redfin in January, April and July. In effect, homeowners have been saying the same thing housing market data has been reporting for years: inventory is persistently low.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLow inventory continues to be a sore spot for the housing market that is likely to continue into 2017,\u201d said Redfin chief economist Nela Richardson. \u201cWe have seen some improvement in single-family new construction recently, but that&#8217;s not enough to meet demand from first-time buyers looking for affordable homes. Mortgage rates are likely to remain at historical lows in 2017 and that could encourage homeowners to convert the equity that they built during the housing recovery by trading up to a more expensive home. This creates a virtuous life cycle of homeownership by adding more affordable inventory to the market that is within reach of more first-time buyers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54794\" class=\"align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Time-to-Sell.png\" alt=\"Time to Sell\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-54776\" class=\"align-center\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-54775\" class=\"align-center\"><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The homeowners Redfin surveyed overwhelmingly agreed that 2016 has been a seller\u2019s market. When asked if now is a good time to sell in their neighborhood, 42 percent of respondents agreed it was, an 8 percentage point increase over the same time last year. A mere 8 percent said it was a bad time to sell, representing a 5 percentage point decline. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54796\" class=\"align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Price-Expectations-5.png\" alt=\"Price Expectations (5)\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how could it be that so many homeowners surveyed agree now is a good time to sell and yet so few have concrete plans to sell? In a word: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prices<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked what they think will happen to home prices in the coming year, 68 percent of homeowners said they expect them to increase in 2017 and a mere 5 percent said prices will fall. Homeowners are slightly less bullish today than they were a year ago. When asked the same question in the last quarter of 2015, 71 percent of respondents reported prices would climb in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54806\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Concerns-and-Reasons-Selling-2.jpg\" alt=\"Concerns and Reasons Selling 2\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-54797\" class=\"align-center\"><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe irony doesn&#8217;t escape me when I say home sellers are in a tough spot right now since the market seems to weigh so heavily in their favor,\u201d said Lorella Martin, a Redfin <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/30818\/TX\/Austin\/real-estate\/agents?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_content=real_estate&amp;utm_campaign=1002170\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real estate agent in Austin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cMany people move out of necessity, but those homeowners who would like to sell in order to upgrade to a larger and nicer home are on the fence. As prices continue to rise, most prospective home sellers ask me two key questions: \u2018is now the best time to sell?\u2019 and \u2018how difficult will it be to find another home?\u2019\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the top two reasons homeowners reported they are either selling or planning to sell their home are that they want to upgrade to a larger and nicer home (36%) and that they want to pull out their profit (23%). However, the two issues that top respondents\u2019 list of concerns about selling is that they will be unable to find a suitable replacement home (32%) and that their property value may fall before they are able to sell (32%). \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<b>About the Survey<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/12839\/DC\/Washington-DC\/filter\/sort=hi-price?%20utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_content=real_estate&amp;utm_campaign=1002170\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emailed its survey to active users of its home search website and mobile apps who <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have \u201cclaimed a home\u201d on the brokerage website. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responses from 1,784 people in 41 states and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/12839\/DC\/Washington-DC\/filter\/sort=hi-price?%20utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_content=real_estate&amp;utm_campaign=1002170\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were collected in mid-October 2016.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1,701 people responded that they own a home, of whom 758 said they are planning to sell their home.
