🏡 What does the latest REALTOR® Confidence Index tell us about today's housing market?
✅ Homes are selling in about a month on average.
✅ First-time buyers make up one-third of all home purchases.
✅ Buyers have more inventory to choose from than they've had in recent years.
✅ Affordability has improved compared to last year.
The biggest takeaway? The market is becoming more balanced.
Buyers have more opportunities, while sellers who price their homes correctly are still seeing strong interest. Real estate is local, and what we're seeing in the Wiregrass area may look different from national trends.
If you're wondering what your home is worth or whether now is the right time to buy, I'd be happy to help.
If mortgage rates dropped by 1%, would you buy a home, sell your home, or stay put? Let me know in the comments!
