Housing Supply Hits 6-Year High as New Listings Jump
August brought a notable shift in the housing market: new U.S. home listings climbed 2.6%, reaching a four-year high and pushing overall supply up by 3.9%—the highest in six years. Despite this increase, buyer activity has remained steady, with pending sales flat and closed sales dipping just 0.5%. Elevated costs and mortgage rates are keeping demand tempered, and we’re seeing 60% of homes selling below asking price. After more than three decades serving families across Staten Island and beyond, I know firsthand how changing inventory shapes opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. My commitment has always been to help you navigate these shifts with confidence and clarity, drawing on years of experience guiding clients through all kinds of markets.

U.S. Builder Sentiment Hits 12-Month Low
Builder confidence has reached a 12-month low, with the late third quarter showing a 3-point dip in the builder-confidence index to 32. Sales conditions have softened—current sales numbers slipped to 35, and the outlook for the next six months dropped to 37. Prospective buyer traffic remains unchanged at 23. Notably, 38% of builders across the country reduced prices, and two-thirds are now offering incentives, a slight increase from mid-Q3’s 63%. Meanwhile, mortgage applications for new-home purchases declined for the fifth consecutive month as average 30-year rates stayed in the high-6% range. Larger builders are responding by focusing on builder-paid rate buydowns, which can help buyers secure lower-than-market mortgage rates without relying solely on price reductions. With 30-year rates hovering near 7%, housing forecasters expect these higher rates to persist through 2027.

Having guided families through many changing markets over the past 38 years, I know how important it is to stay informed in times like these. If you have questions about how these trends might impact your real estate plans—whether buying, selling, or simply weighing your options—feel free to reach out. My commitment is always to help you make informed, confident decisions about your home and future.

US housing inventory reaches 6-year high
We're seeing a significant shift in the housing market, with national inventory now at its highest level since 2020—new home listings have risen by 2.6% to 393,178. While buyer activity remains subdued, and pending sales are flat with closed sales dipping 0.5%, the median home price has reached $398,596 and mortgage rates have crept up to 6.67%. For those considering a move, this means buyers are beginning to gain more negotiating power in certain markets—a trend I haven’t seen at this scale in years. Drawing on over 38 years as a broker and having guided Staten Island families through many market cycles, I know firsthand how important it is to stay informed and make sound decisions. Every shift brings both challenges and opportunities, and my commitment remains to help clients navigate these changes with confidence, whether you’re buying for the first time, moving up, or planning for the future.
