The Texarkana market has shifted. Inventory is up 19% year-over-year, homes are spending longer on the market, and both buyers and sellers have new opportunities—if they know how to use them. Whether you're buying or selling, timing and strategy matter more than ever.
For Buyers: You now have negotiating power. With more homes to choose from and less competition, take time to get pre-approved early, compare properties carefully, and don't rush. Sellers are offering concessions—closing cost help, repairs, even rate buydowns. Ask for what you need. Avoid the pitfall of waiting for perfect rates; focus on the right home and the right price instead.
For Sellers: First impressions count. Invest in curb appeal and essential repairs upfront. Listen to buyer feedback—if you're hearing the same concerns repeatedly, that's your roadmap to adjustments. Stay flexible on negotiations. Nearly half of sellers are offering concessions to close deals. Waiting for the market to shift back in your favor costs time and opportunity. Life changes; focus on your next chapter, not yesterday's market.
The common mistake both sides make: overthinking timing instead of acting on fundamentals. Get professional guidance, understand your position, and move forward with confidence.
