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.

Home prices are up in some markets and flat or negative in others. So, what's going on?

It really comes down to one thing: inventory.

Where there are more homes for sale than there were before the pandemic, prices have stabilized or dipped. Where inventory is still well below normal, prices are still climbing.

And that’s why the headlines are so confusing right now. It varies a lot by area.

The national average is 1.7%, but your city’s number may tell a different story depending on where you live. That's exactly why working with someone who knows your local market makes all the difference right now.

📉 First-Time Homebuyer Rate Update (January 2026)
If you’re thinking about buying your first home, this is worth a look 👇
Current national averages are showing:
• FHA 30-yr fixed: ~6.12%
• VA 30-yr fixed: ~5.56%
• 15-yr fixed: ~5.38%
Why this matters for first-time buyers:
✔️ Lower payments than much of 2024–2025
✔️ FHA & VA programs are becoming more attractive again
✔️ Less competition than the frenzy years
Here’s the real talk:
You don’t need 3% rates to become a homeowner. You need the right loan program, smart budgeting, and a plan. Buyers who are prepared right now are negotiating and getting homes under contract.
If you’ve been renting and waiting for a sign — this is a meaningful shift.
