📣 For sellers:
While prices remain strong, buyers are moving more cautiously, resulting in fewer homes going under contract and slightly longer market times. Standing out through strategic pricing, property preparation, and effective marketing is becoming increasingly important as inventory grows.
🔍 For buyers:
An increase in inventory and a slowdown in pending sales provide more opportunities and negotiating flexibility than in recent months. With homes selling at 98% of list price on average, buyers may have greater leverage while still competing in a market that remains relatively balanced.
📬 May's data reflects a market transitioning toward a more balanced pace.
