As we head into fall, the market continues to shift in favor of buyers. August brought a more noticeable slowdown than we typically see this time of year, with prices declining across most of our local markets, inventory remaining elevated, and homes taking longer to sell. Buyers have more choices and, in many cases, more negotiating power than they’ve had in quite some time. For those who have been sitting on the fence, this fall could present some unique opportunities.
From my perspective, this continues to be a challenging market for sellers, but one with some really good opportunities for savvy buyers. Buyers have choices and they know it, which means condition, presentation and—most importantly—pricing really matter right now. The homes that are positioned correctly from the beginning are still selling, while those that test the market are much more likely to sit and ultimately require a price reduction.
