If you’re thinking about selling your home, these are numbers you NEED TO SEE! ⚠️
According to NAR’s August 2026 housing report:
🏡 Housing inventory has reached its highest level since 2019, with 1.62 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 on the market — up 5.9% from this time last year.
📈 We now have a 4.9-month supply of homes — the 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 10 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬.
📈 Fewer homes are going under contract, with pending home sales down 4.7% compared to this time last year.
This one is staggering! - Redfin estimates that 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐲 57.9%.
So, what does this mean if you're selling?
Marketing gets buyers to LOOK.
Price, condition, presentation, and terms are what get them to MAKE A MOVE!
That's an important distinction in today's market.
This doesn't mean homes aren't selling.
It means sellers need to be more strategic.
I don’t share these numbers to scare you, but to educate you. Understanding the market you’re entering is the first step toward creating the right strategy.
If you're thinking about selling in Citrus County, I'd be happy to show you exactly what the competition looks like around your home and what today's numbers could mean for your sale.
