📊 Why Are Homes Sitting Longer in 2025? 🤔
Here’s what’s really going on 👇
✔️ Inventory is up 17% compared to last year
✔️ Mortgage rates remain near 7%, keeping monthly payments high
✔️ Affordability concerns in many cities are creating buyer burnout
✔️ Buyers are waiting for price drops or more economic certainty
📉 What does this mean for you?
➡️ If you're buying: More listings = more options. But hesitation means well-priced homes still move fast—so be pre-approved and ready.
➡️ If you're selling: You have competition. Strategic pricing, strong marketing, and staging matter more than ever.
