The market is becoming more measured, with fewer homes going under contract and slightly longer selling times. However, sellers are still achieving 97% of their asking price on average. With inventory increasing, accurate pricing, strong presentation, and effective marketing are increasingly important to attract serious buyers and stand out from the competition.
🔍 For buyers:
Growing inventory is creating more opportunities and a wider selection of homes. While sellers are still receiving a strong percentage of their asking prices, the slower pace of contract activity may provide buyers with more time to evaluate properties and, in some cases, greater negotiating leverage.
