This is interesting news! Looking to buy or sell? I’m here for you🏠💲💲

The U.S. housing market now has 600,000 more sellers than buyers.

1,961,858 sellers. 1,361,544 buyers. And that gap is growing.

For the last few years buyers have been getting crushed in this market.

Bidding wars, waived contingencies, homes selling over asking price before the weekend was over.

That era appears to be ending.

When sellers outnumber buyers by 600,000 the power dynamic shifts. Sellers start competing for buyers instead of the other way around.

Price cuts become more common. Days on market get longer. Contingencies come back. Negotiations happen again.

This is genuinely good news for buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines.

But here's what this chart doesn't tell you.

Inventory rising and buyers having more leverage doesn't automatically mean prices are crashing. It means the pace of price increases slows down. It means you might actually get an inspection again. It means sellers might contribute to closing costs for the first time in years.

A more balanced market is what a healthy housing market is supposed to look like.

The question is whether mortgage rates come down enough to bring more buyers back into the market and close that 600,000 gap.

Because right now affordability is still the biggest obstacle keeping buyers on the sidelines regardless of how much inventory exists.

More sellers than buyers is a start. Affordable payments would finish the job.

Call me let’s not wait any longer!!!!

2019: "I'm waiting for the market to crash."
2020: "Pandemic! See? I was right!"
2021: "Prices are insane. I'll wait."
2022: "Rates are too high. I'll wait."
2023: "Still too expensive."
2024: "New administration..."
2025: Still renting. Still waiting. Still wrong.

Meanwhile, the "panic buyers" of 2019?
They own homes worth $95k more.
They've built six years of equity.
They're not paying rent.

The crash you're waiting for?
Even if prices drop 15%, that's $417k → $354k.
Still $32k more than 2019.
You're still behind.

And when prices DO drop?
Every "patient" buyer floods the market.
That $354k house gets 15 offers.
Bidding war pushes it to $375k.
You waited six years to overpay anyway.

One of you is winning. Hint: Not you.

Every year you wait costs:

Appreciation you'll never recover
Equity you'll never build
Rent you'll never get back
