Today’s buyers are putting less money down. And that’s reassuring if you’ve been feeling priced out of the market lately.

The typical buyer put down about $23,400 in early 2026 – that's a 19% year-over-year dip, and the lowest down payments have been since 2021. How’s that possible?

A more balanced market and more moderate home prices are easing the pressure to put a big sum down. Plus, more buyers are opting for loans that require little or no down payments, like FHA and VA loans.

That combination is helping more people stop waiting and start buying.

So, if saving’s been the holdup, it’s time to explore your options.

In many places today, homebuyers finally have the upper hand.

Data shows that, as a whole, there are more sellers than buyers active in the market right now. That means buyers have more homes to choose from and a lot more room to negotiate.

Think of it like this. When sellers are competing for a smaller pool of buyers, those sellers are far more willing to say “yes” to things like price cuts, repairs, and even help with closing costs.

And those are things you may not have gotten just a few years ago.

But you have to know how to ask for it. That's where a good agent can help.

Want to know what you can realistically ask for in our market? DM me and I'll show you what's working.

The power dynamics have shifted. Let’s make the most of this moment.

Why a Newly Built Home Could Save You $25K over 10 Years

Think a newly built home is out of reach? It might cost less than you’d think. Compared to an existing home, new homes save buyers an average of about $25,000 over their first 10 years. Because having a brand-new roof, HVAC system, and water heater means lower bills and fewer repairs early on. Ready to see if a newly built home is right for you? Let's look at what's available in your budget.

More homeowners are pulling their houses off the market right now. But don’t let that rattle your own plans to sell.

Yes, delistings are up. But relistings are climbing right alongside them. So, most of those sellers are simply taking a short pause to reset before putting the house back on the market.

That usually means stepping back to do a few repairs, taking fresh photos, bringing in staging, or adjusting to a better price. It’s a regroup, not a retreat.

So, if your house is sitting (not selling), treat it as your cue to listen to buyer feedback and adjust.

Because this isn’t a sign of broader housing market trouble. It just shows that sellers need to meet the market where it is.
