The market is finally shifting in favor of buyers. We are seeing 17% more homes on the market compared to last year, meaning you finally have options again. Plus, with mortgage rates easing and price growth slowing, affordability is starting to turn the corner.

If you stepped back from your home search over the past few years, you’re not alone – and you’re definitely not out of options. In fact, now might be the ideal time to take another look.

Active housing listings nationwide are still about 6% below pre-pandemic levels, but the picture varies widely by state – and those differences align closely with recent price trends. Even so, pent-up demand remains strong, supporting housing’s long-term investment appeal and continued home price growth.

🏡 Buyers: Want to snag the best deal on a home right now? The secret is to focus on listings that have been sitting on the market for a while!

Sellers Get Flexible: When a home lingers, the seller is often more willing to negotiate on price and concessions.

Less Competition: Homes that aren't selling fast are often overlooked, meaning you could be the only offer, reducing bidding wars.

Deals Are Out There: Realtor.com reports that about 1 in 5 listings have had a price cut this year. The longer a home stays listed, the lower its sale price tends to be compared to the original ask.

Don't skip over these opportunities! Talk to your local real estate agent to find the homes that have been on the market the longest in your area.
