📊 Let’s Talk About What the Market Is Really Saying

This past week in our local real estate market, we saw:

6,833 price decreases
4,371 new listings
756 homes back on the market
These numbers tell a story. Sellers are adjusting expectations. Inventory is growing. Deals are falling through and homes are circling back to active status. All of this adds up to a market where buyers have more leverage, more choices, and more room to negotiate than we've seen in a while.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, unsure whether now is a good time to buy, this kind of data is worth paying attention to. It doesn’t mean the market is “easy,” but it does mean you may not have to compete as aggressively or make rushed decisions the way buyers did during peak market conditions.

This isn’t a pitch — just a heads-up that opportunities are out there. If buying is on your radar, I’m always happy to help you explore things at your own pace.

📥 Feel free to reach out with questions or just to chat about what you’re seeing out there.

Thinking About Selling Your Home in Today’s Market? 🏡

In June 2025, the U.S. housing landscape is shifting:

More homes on the market & slower sales mean buyers have more choices — national inventory is up ~20% year-over-year, with many homes taking longer to sell

Prices flattening — typical listings are flat year-over-year or down slightly (~0.4%) so pricing correctly is more important than ever
realtor.com

Buyer leverage is rising — fewer bidding wars, more negotiations, and nearly 1 in 5 sellers reducing price in recent weeks

Mortgage rates remain elevated (~6.6–6.9%), meaning some buyers are pausing, putting more pressure on sellers to be realistic .

➡️ What this means for you as a seller:

Set a realistic asking price. Overpriced homes are lingering.
Make smart, impactful upgrades. Affordable updates like fresh hardware, a new door color, LED lighting, and clean landscaping can boost appeal and justify your price

Prep for negotiations. Buyers are asking for price cuts and inspections—be ready to respond.
Time it wisely. Spring benefits have faded, but listing early summer still places you ahead of fall crowd and sets you up if rates ease later.
Highlight your home’s strengths. If your neighborhood still attracts strong demand, lean on that. If not, showcase recent upgrades, energy efficiency, or turnkey condition.

📲 Considering a sale? I’m here to help you:

Price it right
Advise on value-maximizing upgrades
Guide timing and negotiation strategy
Ready to talk specifics—your home, your goals, today’s market.
