At the same time, every home that sold this week sold for less than its asking price. On average, buyers paid about 95% of the list price.
So which is it? Is the market fast or slow?
Honestly, it is both. It depends on the house.

New listings jumped this week. 12 new homes came on the market, more than twice as many as the week before. When the right one shows up, especially under $200,000, you may need to move quickly.
But homes that have been listed for a while are a different story. More than half of the homes for sale have already had a price cut. On those, you may have room to ask the seller for help, like money toward closing costs or a 2-1 rate buydown.

Get pre-approved now, so you can act fast on a new listing.
Talk with your lender about what a seller credit or buydown could do for your payment.
Look at how long each home has been listed before you decide how to offer.
