Night and Day. We have officially changed markets on Marco Island. This week alone, there has been 24 price DECREASES on Marco. Buyers, you have leverage now. We are seeing more mortgage transactions(even with the higher rate), increase in contingencies, longer closing periods, and more listings. Sellers, I hope you took my advice, and sold last year when you were thinking about it, as I called it the, "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" period.

2,750%

We have been discussing the “normalization” of the market for a while. Inventory is increasing each month, a trend that started in January, and the Seller/Buyer dynamics are becoming more balanced. The Seller dominated Market is shifting as Sellers need to recalibrate their expectations.

Today we are seeing Listing Prices being reduced and the return of Seller Paid Closing Costs. These were like Bigfoot in 2020 and 2021! We heard about them, but never really saw them.

The market for buyers looks to get better. Fears of a recession have sparked a 2,750% spike in Google Searches for the phrase “Sell My House Fast”. This is a sign more inventory will come on the Market and Sellers will have a new mindset.

Want to thank my AWESOME buyers and sellers for using my many years of expertise to help them land a new home. 🙂

We are under contract! In less than 24 hours this home is officially pending. Buyers, if you find a home, act fast because there will be others who saw it before you with an offer in hand. Sellers, let’s get it sold!
