New listings hit a four-year high
There’s a notable shift happening: new listings in the US housing market have climbed by 8%, reaching their highest point since August 2022. While active listings are approaching balanced territory, pending sales have dipped to a low. With mortgage rates holding at 6.66%, affordability remains a challenge—even with a 2.2% rise in median prices. My commitment as your Real Estate Advocate is to keep you informed and well-prepared, leveraging the latest technology and collaborative expertise so you can navigate these moving market dynamics from the strongest possible position, whether you’re buying or selling.

Buyers Gain Unique Opportunities Amid Growing Inventory
With more homes hitting the market and inventory on the rise, buyers now have a rare opportunity to negotiate from a position of strength. Pending home sales in the US have reached a six-month low, and while the median home price has increased 1.9% to $400,649, the higher mortgage rates are definitely impacting monthly budgets. In certain areas, we're seeing price drops and sellers becoming more flexible with concessions. My commitment as your Real Estate Advocate is to keep you fully informed and equipped—leveraging technology, teamwork, and marketing—to secure you the strongest position, whether you’re navigating these shifts as a buyer or seller.

U.S. Home Prices Ease Across Major Metros
As your Real Estate Advocate, keeping you informed is at the heart of how I work to promote your best interests. Recently, we've seen home prices ease across many major U.S. metro areas. In Mid-Q3, the price per square foot dropped in 36 out of the 50 largest metro markets—a clear signal that the housing market is cooling more broadly. Nationally, that measure was down about 2% year-over-year, marking the tenth consecutive month of softening. Toward the end of Mid-Q3, sellers became more flexible, making steeper price cuts to help bridge the gap with buyers—a shift that's especially visible in areas that saw dramatic price surges during the pandemic. Elevated mortgage rates continue to challenge affordability, and many of those boom-time markets are now giving back a portion of their pandemic gains. Higher inventory levels, now above pre-pandemic norms, are helping bring balance. My commitment is to keep you well-equipped with the latest market insights and negotiating strategies, so you can navigate these shifts with confidence.

US Cash Sales Offer Fast Signal
Cash sales have consistently accounted for about 25% of existing-home transactions across the US in recent years, and they’re a powerful signal for anyone navigating the market. As your Real Estate Advocate, I keep a close eye on these trends because they reveal so much about buyer competition and financing shifts. When more buyers are paying cash and prices are climbing, it’s often a sign of heated competition. On the other hand, if cash purchases rise while sales volume drops, it can point to challenges for those relying on financing.

If we see cash transactions decrease but prices hold steady, it might mean credit conditions are easing, making it easier for traditional buyers to step back in—restoring a more balanced market. Smaller cash-focused investors tend to look for unique opportunities, such as properties in probate, with tax issues, deferred maintenance, or those involved in relocations. Even when financed sales slow down, these homes stay in demand due to affordability pressures, especially among buyers looking for value.

Investing in single-family homes isn’t just about finding the right property; it’s about understanding local taxes, title insurance, renovation costs, and hands-on management. That’s why disciplined local operators often see the most reward, rather than large-scale investors. As we look ahead, expect to see more margin consolidation rather than sweeping roll-ups. International investors, in particular, may find greater success by partnering with trusted local experts instead of attempting to navigate the market on their own.

I’m committed to using my knowledge and resources to help you understand these dynamics and position you for success—every step of the way.

New Listings Rise as Summer Comes to a Close
As summer winds down, we’re seeing some interesting shifts in the housing market. New U.S. home listings have ticked up 1.2%, reaching a three-month high.

New Listings Rise as Buyers Pull Back
We’re seeing a shift in the housing market: new listings have edged up by 0.4% and total homes for sale increased 0.5%, marking the highest inventory levels since late Q1 and mid Q2. Meanwhile, pending home sales dipped 1.1%, now at a six-month low—a clear sign that buyers are pausing as national median prices hover above $400K. With financing costs still in the mid-6% range and uncertainty lingering, many are choosing to wait, hoping for rate relief. This changing landscape means more opportunity for those actively searching: with inventory building and demand easing, buyers may find more leverage—think price reductions, concessions, rate buydowns, or repairs on homes that have been on the market a bit longer. Timing is key, as experts suggest this window might not last past late Q3. On the selling side, pricing your property right from the start is more important than ever. My commitment as your Real Estate Advocate is to ensure you’re equipped with the best information and support, so whether you’re buying or selling, you’re in the strongest possible negotiating position.
