New listings are up about 3% month-over-month\u2014the most we&#039;ve seen in over four years\u2014and total homes for sale climbed another 4%, reaching levels not seen since 2020. While buyer demand held steady (pending sales were flat, closed sales dipped by 1%), prices set a new record, and mortgage rates hovered close to 7%.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s driving the change? More homeowners are listing as the rate lock-in effect softens, life transitions prompt moves, and sellers adapt to a slower-paced market. This creates more options and negotiating power for buyers. In fact, by mid-Q3, about 60% of homes sold below their original asking price, giving buyers room to negotiate on price, repairs, or closing costs\u2014or even walk away if the fit isn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n<p>Having spent over a decade guiding clients through shifting markets, I know how important it is to understand these trends. If you\u2019re considering a move, this environment offers more space and flexibility than in recent years, even with higher costs and steady demand. My focus is always on helping you make informed, confident decisions\u2014tailored to your unique needs\u2014so you can achieve your real estate goals with clarity and peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Housing inventory has reached its highest point in six years, making this mid-Q3 a unique moment for both buyers and sellers.
