Melinda Byers, Realtor - Matching Homes with Hearts

If you’re worried the number of homes for sale is rising out of control...

You think prices are about to crash...

Or you’re holding off because you think rates are about to drop dramatically...

Here’s what I want you to know.

While you may be hearing those things online, the data doesn’t back any of that up.

So, if you’re reading something or you see a post online that makes you second guess if you should move right now, don’t just take it at face value. DM me.

I’ll tell you what the data really says about the housing market today, so you can make a decision about your timeline that’s based on fact, not fear.

Did you try to buy a home last year and feel stuck?

Maybe there just weren’t enough options. Or, nothing really fit what you were looking for.

That’s starting to change.

There are now nearly 2x as many new listings hitting the market compared to a few months ago. Those are homes that were just put up for sale.

That means more fresh options and a better chance of finding the house that actually works for you.

If you’re curious what’s out there in our area right now, let’s take a look together.

Fewer Homes Are Selling for Over Their Asking Price

Remember when it felt like almost every house went for way over asking? In many places, that’s calmed down. Fewer homes are selling for over list price today. Want to know what to expect if you're buying in our market? Let’s talk.

Not every house is selling for over asking anymore.

In fact, it’s down to about 1 in 4 homes today, compared to nearly half in 2021.

And that's a good sign for buyers. It means the market is getting back to normal.

Now, this is going to vary by area. But overall, it means you may find sellers with more wiggle room on their price today. And in a lot of places, negotiation is back on the table.

Let’s make the most of it.

First-time buyers may be starting to catch a bit of a break – and this list shows where.

Zillow just ranked the top 10 markets for first-time buyers this Spring.

And these metros made the list because there are more homes to choose from. There’s slower price growth. And wages are rising in these areas.

That combination is what’s opening the door for some buyers, even with higher mortgage rates.

But what about your city? Even if your metro isn’t on this list, don’t worry. The full list names 50 cities. And even beyond that, there’s opportunity in any market, if you know where to look.

Want to find the best neighborhoods for first-time buyers locally? Let’s talk.
