The typical buyer’s market is when there are over 10% more sellers than buyers. In December, there were an estimated 47.1% more home sellers than buyers in the U.S. housing market, the biggest gap on record according to Redfin.

Buyers in the market also hit a record low, dropping 5.9% month over month to an estimated 1.34M—the lowest level since 2013. When sellers outweigh buyers by this much, buyers typically have more negotiating power, more options, and less competition.

By this definition, the U.S. has been in a buyer’s market since May 2024.

Of course, it’s only a buyer’s market for those who can actually afford to buy. High rates, high prices, and economic uncertainty have pushed a lot of would-be buyers to the sidelines, which is part of why the imbalance exists in the first place.

Where it’s strongest right now:

The Sun Belt. Austin had an estimated 128% more sellers than buyers in December: the largest imbalance among major metros. Fort Lauderdale, Nashville, Miami, and San Antonio also ranked among the strongest buyer’s markets.

Words of Encouragement for Federal Workers

As a federal worker, I offer this prayer for all of us navigating this difficult reality—whether working without pay, furloughed and waiting, or facing job loss.

I see you. I stand with you. Whatever you are feeling right now is real and valid.

For the weight we are carrying:

The early morning wake-ups, heart racing. The knot in your stomach that will not go away. The exhaustion of explaining this one more time. The days when getting out of bed feels like an achievement.

This is hard. It is acceptable that it is hard. You do not have to be strong every moment. And in addition: You are still here. You are still showing up, even when it is heavy. That matters.

For those of us still working:

You are showing up every day, doing your job well, while your paycheck does not arrive. Some days the pride in your work sustains you. Other days you wonder if you are being taken advantage of. Both feelings are valid.

Your dedication is real. Your professionalism speaks to your character. And you should not have to prove your worth this way. You deserve better.

For those furloughed:

The waiting is its own kind of difficult. The helplessness of having no control. Some days you stay hopeful. Other days you feel forgotten.

This limbo is real and exhausting. And in addition: This pause does not define your value. Your skills have not disappeared. Your experience still matters.

For those facing job transitions:

This loss is real. Years of your life, your identity, your sense of purpose—shifted in an instant. You have every right to be sad, to be angry, to feel lost. This ending matters because your work mattered.

And alongside that: You are more than this job. The skills you have built, the resilience you have developed—those come with you. This chapter is closing, but you are still writing your story.

The truth I am holding onto:

We are in a genuinely hard situation. Let us not minimize that reality. And at the same time: We are capable, experienced, valuable people who have weathered difficulties before.

We do not have to have it all figured out. We do not have to be acceptable all the time. We just have to keep going, one day at a time, with as much grace for ourselves as we can manage.

We are seen in our struggle. We are valued for who we are, not just what we produce. And we will get through this—not because it is easy, but because we do not have another choice, and because we are doing it together.

Where is the lie. We are customer-focused first because we start off at $0.00.
