The housing market has been moving faster than seller expectations and that shift might be your biggest opportunity as a buyer. 🏡✨
For the last several years, sellers held most of the cards with low inventory and lightning-fast bidding wars. Today, things look different:
📊 80% of sellers still expect asking price or higher...
📉 But 62% of homes are actually selling below asking.
🚪 In fact, 5.8% of U.S. listings were pulled off the market in April, the highest share since March 2020.
What does this mean for you?
This isn't a market falling apart; it’s a market finding its balance.
A home sitting for 40 or 50 days opens the door for a completely different conversation than one with 12 offers on day one. You may have the room to:
✔️ Negotiate purchase price
✔️ Request seller credits toward closing costs or temporary rate buydowns
✔️ Secure better contract terms without feeling rushed
The rate and price always matter, but your negotiating leverage matters just as much. Waiting for a "perfect market" often means missing out on the unique opportunities in front of you right now.
Whether you're looking to buy your first home, make your next move, or figure out the best pricing strategy to sell, I’m here to help you navigate every step with confidence.
