Remember when homes sold in a matter of days? Or hours?

Now, homes are on the market for an average of 58 days. That’s nearly double the time we saw during the frenzy just a few years ago.

That means you have more time to think. More time to negotiate. And less pressure to rush into a decision.

If you gave up on your move because of the intensity from a few years ago, things have changed. Let’s look at how much breathing room you’ve got in our local market.

History Shows the Housing Market Always Recovers

If today’s housing market feels stuck, remember it’s never stayed down for good. Slowdowns end, activity returns, and people get moving again. So, let’s connect, because when the next wave of buyers shows up, you won’t want to miss it.

As activity picks up again, will you be ready to put your house back on the market, or do you need to move sooner?

Now that the market is slowing down, homeowners who haven’t sold at the price they were hoping for are increasingly pulling their homes off the market.

Are you still worried about getting stuck in a bidding war? Here’s my advice: don’t let that hold you back. They’re a lot less common than they used to be.

Only about 1 in 5 homes faced multiple offers this June. That’s way lower than a few years back. Actually, it’s lower than this time last year, too.

It’s a clear sign the market is rebalancing and buyers have more power again. But how much competition has cooled still depends on your area.

Should You Still Expect a Bidding War?

If concerns about bidding wars have been holding you back, it may be time to take another look. Nationally, competition is down. In some markets, it’s down significantly. And with more sellers offering concessions, buyers today have more power and flexibility than they’ve had in a long time.

Want to find out what the market looks like where you’re buying? Let’s connect.

If you’re still worried about having to deal with a bidding war when you buy a home, you may be able to let some of that fear go.

Over the past few weeks, mortgage rates hit their lowest point of the year – and it was big news.

So, what you need to know if you’re buying a home is, whenever these shifts happen (whether they’re now or later), even a small change in rates can make a big difference in your monthly payment.

While major drops in mortgage rates aren’t projected for the rest of 2025, smaller declines are still expected – depending on where the economy goes from here.
