The Importance of the Latino Community to Today’s Real Estate Market
The Hispanic community was hit hardest by the housing crash. Now that the market is recovering, many of these families have the opportunity to either buy a home again, or those that lost home value during those years, are seeing equity return allowing them to sell and move to the home that they always wanted. These buyers are ready, but according to a recent survey done by NAHREP (the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals) there are barriers that do not allow these buyers to enter the market right now. As real estate professionals is our duty to remove some of these barriers, if possible, and help as many families as we can become homeowners if they are willing ready and able to.
Bottom Line
The Hispanic community is becoming a very important part of today’s real estate market, “The number of Hispanic households has grown to 14.7 million in 2013 and today a Hispanic youth turns 18 every minute of every day,” according to the 2013 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report. 4 out of 10 new households in the United States are expected to be Hispanic in 2014, this is a major opportunity for real estate professionals.
