Wondering what’s really going on with home prices? The truth is: it depends on where you live.

In the 50 largest metros, nearly half are still seeing prices climb. The other half are seeing slight declines.

It’s a clear reminder that real estate is hyper-local. And understanding what’s happening in your specific market is key.

Let’s talk about what’s unfolding in our area, and how that impacts the strategy for your next move.

Should You Still Expect a Bidding War?

If concerns about bidding wars have been holding you back, it may be time to take another look. Nationally, competition is down. In some markets, it’s down significantly. And with more sellers offering concessions, buyers today have more power and flexibility than they’ve had in a long time.

Want to find out what the market looks like where you’re buying? Let’s connect.

Are you still worried about getting stuck in a bidding war? Here’s my advice: don’t let that hold you back. They’re a lot less common than they used to be.

Only about 1 in 5 homes faced multiple offers this June. That’s way lower than a few years back. Actually, it’s lower than this time last year, too.

It’s a clear sign the market is rebalancing and buyers have more power again. But how much competition has cooled still depends on your area.

Remember when homes sold in a matter of days? Or hours?

Now, homes are on the market for an average of 58 days. That’s nearly double the time we saw during the frenzy just a few years ago.

That means you have more time to think. More time to negotiate. And less pressure to rush into a decision.

If you gave up on your move because of the intensity from a few years ago, things have changed. Let’s look at how much breathing room you’ve got in our local market.

The number of condos for sale is growing.

Right now, we’ve got the second highest amount we’ve seen in the last 3 years. And nearly double the supply we had in early 2022. That opens doors for you.

If you’re looking for a condo, you have more options and less competition. And since there are more for sale, many sellers are more open to negotiating. So, you may be able to get a better price.

Could a condo check more boxes than you expected? Let’s talk about what’s available and see if one might be a good fit for you.

Over the past few weeks, mortgage rates hit their lowest point of the year – and it was big news.

So, what you need to know if you’re buying a home is, whenever these shifts happen (whether they’re now or later), even a small change in rates can make a big difference in your monthly payment.

While major drops in mortgage rates aren’t projected for the rest of 2025, smaller declines are still expected – depending on where the economy goes from here.

In June, roughly 15% of pending sales didn’t make it to closing.

Why? The reasons are going to vary. But a recent survey of agents shows a lot of the time it’s because buyers are quick to walk if the home inspection uncovers a big issue.

The good news is there’s a simple way for sellers to get ahead of that – and that’s a pre-listing inspection.

That’s an inspection you get for yourself before you list, so you can find and fix any issues before they become deal breakers for buyers.

If you're thinking about selling soon, let’s talk strategy. Because depending on your house and our market, it may make sense to spend a few hundred dollars now to spare you the headaches.
