Here's a shift worth noticing: for the first time since 2023, more Americans say they'd rather buy than rent.
And when you look at what's happening in the market, it's not hard to see why:
Supply keeps growing, new listings have topped 110K four weeks running, with plenty to choose from
Sellers are pricing more realistically, and fewer are cutting prices after listing a sign of a steadier market
Purchase closing costs are actually down nearly 3% from a year ago
Rates remain the headwind, holding above 6.5% but still below their recent highs
More homes, steadier pricing, and lower closing costs are quietly tilting the math back toward buyers. That's the kind of market a prepared buyer can move through with real confidence.
