Data points worth giving thought to:
Active inventory climbed 6.7% from last year, its fastest growth since February. With more homes available and buyer demand cooling, shoppers have additional choices and potentially greater negotiating power.
Housing is entering a more price-sensitive phase. Sellers who price competitively and respond to market feedback may be better positioned to attract serious buyers, particularly as inventory continues to build.
DID YOU KNOW...New listings fell 4.1% from last year even as total inventory increased 6.7%. That means more homes are accumulating on the market because fewer are going under contract—not because sellers are flooding the market with new listings.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.....
