🔍 For Buyers:
- Breathing Room: You no longer need to rush into decisions on offer night.
- Negotiation Power: Conditions on financing and home inspection are back on the table, and properties are routinely closing below asking.
- Selection: Even with total active listings slightly lower YoY, slower sales mean you have time to compare options and find the right fit for your family.
🎯 For Sellers:
- Pricing Precision Matters: Overpriced homes will sit. Pricing accurately according to recent comps from day one is essential to attract serious interest.
- Presentation & Marketing: When buyers have choices, how your home is staged, photographed, and positioned online makes all the difference.
- Patience Required: With days on market averaging 50 days, planning your timeline and having a clear marketing strategy from the start prevents unnecessary stress.
