Why So Many Sellers Are Cutting Their Price Right Now

Price cuts are a normal part of today’s housing market, and both buyers and sellers can use them to their advantage. Let's look at what's actually happening with prices in your neighborhood, so you know exactly where you stand before you list or make an offer.

Price cuts are turning up everywhere right now, and they read very differently depending on which side of the deal you’re on.

09/26/2026

Price cuts have climbed for 7 straight months.

Right now, more than 4 in 10 homes for sale have already had one, and it usually comes down to one thing – the market's moving faster than most sellers expected and their pricing hasn’t necessarily kept up.

A home that needs a cut usually just sat too long priced above what buyers will actually pay right now.

Selling soon? Let's set your number right from day one, so you skip that wasted time.

House hunting? A home that's had its price reduced means the seller's already been through that wait. And sellers who've been sitting are usually ready to deal.

Not sure where to start if you’re thinking about moving? You’re not alone.

Right now, there are actually 4 different housing markets running at once, and each one plays by its own rules.

Cash buyers. Buyers taking out a mortgage. Homeowners feeling reluctant to give up their current low rate. And builders eager to sell their extra inventory.

Which group you fall in can completely change how you should approach your move. But that’s where an agent comes in.

We have the expertise on what to do for your specific situation and the strategies that are going to work for you.

Selling this fall? Starting strong matters even more this time of year.

In the fall, buyer activity typically starts to slow while the number of homes for sale climbs. That means fewer buyers may be looking at more options – so you want your house to stand out from day one.

Here’s the cheat sheet for how to make that happen.

Price it for today’s buyers. Not what your neighbor sold for a few years back.

Make your house hard to pass up. Tackle essential repairs and spend time on your curb appeal.

Stay flexible when offers come in. This is not the season to play hardball.

And be ready to adjust when needed. If you keep getting the same feedback from buyers, take it to heart.

If you want to sell before the end of the year, let’s make sure you have the right strategy from the start. Because with the right plan, selling in the fall is a no brainer.

Wanted to flag something I hear from buyers all the time: "I don't want to shop around for a mortgage because every lender pulls my credit and my score will tank." 😬

Good news: that's mostly a myth.

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, when several mortgage lenders check your credit within 45 days, it counts as ONE inquiry. Lenders know you're only buying one house, not five.

A few more quick tips from the CFPB:

✅ Checking your own credit doesn't affect your score. Grab your free report at and get any errors fixed early.

🚫 Don't open a new credit card or finance a car while you're buying a home. Every one of those adds an inquiry. (I know that new-house furniture is tempting. Wait until after closing!)

💰 Comparing lenders is usually worth it, even if you go past the 45 days. The small extra inquiry is nothing compared to what a better rate can save you.

Thinking about buying in the Blackstone Valley, Worcester County, or northern RI? Give me a call when you get a sec. I'm happy to connect you with a few lenders worth comparing.
