What Sellers and Buyers Need to Know Now
Sellers:
It’s time to get serious. The median sales price dropped another $10,000 last month, while active inventory increased by another 4%!! You MUST price correctly upfront, which means you cannot use sales from the peak of the market (March-July of 2022). And even then, price reductions will be common, staging is expected, repairs will be requested, and concessions will be normal.
Buyers:
Good news…active inventory is on the rise and interest rates are still historically low. You have choices! If you were waiting on a market shift to help you buy a home, it’s here! If the interest rates are tough to swallow, consider asking the seller to pay for a rate buy down. Remember that a home is long-term investment, and don’t lose sight of that based on short-term market changes.
