Homebuyers Enjoy Greater Choice as Listings Reach Six-Year High
The latest data reveals a striking shift: there are now 57.9% more home sellers than buyers, with listings climbing to a six-year high. Inventory is up 3.9%, while buyer activity has barely moved—rising just 0.1%. Yet, affordability challenges persist, pressured by high mortgage rates and strong prices. Sales are trending downward, even as inventory reaches its highest point since 2020. In my 24 years navigating the ups and downs of real estate—especially in probate and trust sales—I've seen the market favor both buyers and sellers, but rarely with this much of a tilt. For those in Baldwin Hills, Baldwin Vista, and surrounding areas, understanding how these dynamics affect your next move is more important than ever. My approach has always been to guide clients with transparency and local expertise, helping you turn market shifts into strategic opportunities.
