Trend Insights
-
Price Adjustments Are Up: With 6,554 homes dropping their asking price, pricing strategy is critical. This number far exceeds the 364 that raised their prices, highlighting a buyer-sensitive market.
-
Buyer Demand Remains Solid: Pending and closed sales totaled 5,244 this week, closely matching the 3,943 new listings. This suggests that while inventory is rising, homes are still moving quickly when priced right.
-
Re-entry Into the Market: 626 homes returned to the market. This could indicate deals falling through during inspections or financing. Buyers may find opportunities in these re-listed homes, often with motivated sellers.
-
High Cancellation and Expiry Rates: More than 1,500 properties were either canceled or expired last week. Sellers may be pulling listings due to lack of activity, pricing errors, or seasonal slowdowns.
-
Option Contracts Hold Steady: 1,701 homes entered option contract status, reflecting continued buyer engagement. Buyers are actively securing homes with inspection periods in place.
What It Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers:
You’re in a favorable position. With nearly 4,000 new listings and over 6,500 price drops, there’s an abundance of choices and a good chance of negotiating favorable terms. Watch for homes coming back on market—these often reflect motivated sellers or second-chance deals. However, don’t wait too long; well-priced homes are still going under contract quickly as shown by the high number of pending and closed sales.
Tips for Buyers:
-
Act fast on competitively priced homes
-
Consider homes with recent price reductions
-
Watch for back-on-market properties as potential deals
