What Does It All Mean for You?
For Buyers: You have more choices than you did a year ago — and more negotiating power, too. But don’t get too comfortable. Well-priced homes are still moving (just not at lightning speed). Pre-approval and a savvy agent are still your secret weapons.
For Sellers: This market isn’t last year’s sprint — it’s more of a well-paced jog. Inventory is up, and pricing competitively matters more than ever. Homes that shine (and are priced right) still win. Staging, prep, and smart strategy go a long way.
