🏡 **What does this mean for you?**
**SELLERS:** Even though overall sales activity has slowed, there are also fewer homes competing for buyers. Homes that are selling are moving faster, with median days on market down 24.5% to 40 days. The median sales price also increased 3.9% to $571,499, and sellers received an average of 97.8% of their original list price. Pricing and presenting your home correctly from the start remains important.
**BUYERS:** Higher mortgage rates continue to affect affordability and may be contributing to slower buyer activity. The Federal Reserve also recently raised its benchmark rate by 0.25%. While that doesn't directly set mortgage rates, borrowing costs remain something buyers need to consider.
At the same time, slower buyer activity can mean **less competition for you**. With fewer buyers competing for homes, there may be opportunities to negotiate on price, closing costs or other terms depending on the property.
