Trend Insights
August is showing an uptick in both listings and price reductions compared to July. Buyers are gaining leverage as inventory grows, but desirable homes are still selling quickly when well-priced.
-
Inventory Growth: New listings have been trending upward for three consecutive weeks.
-
Pricing Adjustments: Price drops outnumber price increases by more than 10:1, highlighting the need for realistic pricing strategies.
-
Seasonal Slowdown in Luxury: High-end properties are seeing longer days on market as summer travel and school prep shift priorities.
-
First-Time Buyer Activity: Steady, especially in suburban areas with strong community amenities.
Takeaway:
The market is leaning toward balance. While sellers still benefit from overall demand, buyers are in a better position to negotiate than earlier this year.
