🏡Thinking about selling, but worried your deal could fall apart before closing? Here's some perspective. 💡

Most home sales still make it to the finish. And when one doesn't, the top reason is almost always inspection or repair issues. They play a part in more than 70% of deals that fall through. 📉

💪But, luckily for you, inspection/repair issues are what you have the most power to prevent ahead of time. A pre-listing inspection lets you find and handle problems before a buyer's inspector ever does.

Ready to list? Let's talk about whether getting a pre-listing inspection makes sense for your house in our market. ✨

Here's a shift worth noticing if you're buying: negotiation is a normal part of the process again.

Nearly half of sellers — 46% in May — gave buyers some form of concession, a record for that month. Price reductions are far more common than they were during the frenzy.

For buyers, that's not a warning sign. A reduced price is often an invitation to look closer, not a reason to stay away. Inspections, repairs, closing costs, timing — these are conversations again, not sacrifices you make to win a bidding war.

One honest caveat: more negotiation doesn't mean buyers control every market. A well-priced home in a tight area can still move fast. But the list price is no longer the whole conversation.
