🙋🏽♀️ THRILLED for my sellers but this one took longer than we thought. The market is changing and here’s what I am seeing:
*There’s MORE INVENTORY!!! Yes, that is correct! In September we had just over 8000 single family homes on the market and today we have over 8800 homes to choose from! BUYERS HAVE CHOICES!
*Days on market are longer. What may have been listed on a Thursday in July and gone by Monday, may now be lingering a bit longer.
*Buyers are more serious and intentional with what they want to see. It’s more rare that I get a call from someone that just wants to check something out without a preapproval letter, or just wants to “see what’s out there...” (this does not apply to those that are studying the market or keeping their eyes on the “way out of your budget, fantasy dream home).
*Buyers are able to negotiate- homes are selling for under list price, sellers are offering to assist with rate buy downs to get to the closing table.
*We are seeing more “Back on Market” status updates. This could be cold feet, post inspection unable to come to an agreement to move forward or financing- whatever the cause, it’s leading to more homes being available.
🙋🏽♀️ if you’re considering a move in the next 8 months, I’d be happy to talk more about your goals and put together a plan and timeline that work for you!
