Agents, this is your cue to restart stalled buyer conversations! 🗣️
January is typically a quiet period, but inventory is now growing and the pace of sales is slowing, according to the Realtor.com® Weekly Housing Trends Report.
Buyers may want to take advantage of homes that have lingered on the market, with some listings sitting for months. Many sellers have kept their homes listed and may be more willing to negotiate.
As a result, the report found that home prices have dipped, and affordability may be improving due to lower mortgage rates, lower home prices, and rising incomes.
