Recently released data from the  National Association of Realtors  (NAR) suggests that a now is a great time to sell your home. The concept of ‘ supply & demand ’ reveals that the best price for an item is realized when the supply of that item is low and the demand for that item is high.

Some homeowners have recently done a “cash out” refinance and have taken a portion of their increased equity from their house. Others have sold their homes and purchased more expensive homes with larger mortgages. At the same time, first-time buyers have become homeowners and now have mortgage payments for the first time. These developments have caused concern that families might be reaching unsustainable levels of mortgage debt. Some are worried that we may be repeating a behavior that helped precipitate the housing crash ten years ago. Today, we want to assure everyone that this is not the case. Here is a graph created from  data  released by the  Federal Reserve Board  which shows the  Household Debt Service Ratio  for mortgages as a percentage of disposable personal income. The ratio is the total quarterly required mortgage payments divided by total quarterly disposable personal income. In other words, the percentage of spendable income people ...
