Trend Insights
Several key trends emerged this week:
1. Buyers Have Leverage with Options
With 30 homes reducing their prices, it’s clear that buyers have more room to negotiate than they did even a month ago. Sellers who price too ambitiously are finding themselves quickly correcting course.
2. Summer Listing Surge Underway
The 33 new listings suggest that the early summer market is gaining steam. Historically, June through early July is a highly active period as families try to move before school resumes.
3. Balanced Demand
Pending and closed sales held steady at 25 each, which shows that although listings are growing, buyer demand is still matching it. This keeps Flower Mound in a relatively balanced state compared to a buyer or seller’s market tilt.
4. High Caution in Early Contracts
The 16 active option contracts show that while offers are being made, many buyers are still in inspection or due diligence phases. These buyers want reassurance before fully committing—especially given recent price reductions.
What It Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers:
You’re stepping into a more negotiable market. With so many price reductions and increased listing activity, you're less likely to face aggressive bidding wars. However, attractive homes priced right are still moving quickly. Get pre-approved and be ready to move fast on quality inventory—but don’t be afraid to negotiate.
Also, use inspection periods wisely. With a high number of homes in option contracts, it’s clear that due diligence is a top priority in today’s deals.
For Sellers:
The window is now open—but don’t get overly optimistic. While inventory is rising, so is buyer selectivity. Pricing right from day one is your best chance to avoid the “price drop” category. With 30 sellers cutting prices this week, it’s clear that overpriced homes are getting passed over.
Make sure your home is in top showing condition and priced to compete. If you’re coming to market in the next week or two (like the 7 “Coming Soon” homes), consult your agent now to fine-tune strategy.
If you’re considering making a move in Flower Mound this summer, this is a prime moment for preparation. Sellers should be dialing in price and presentation, while buyers can take advantage of increased options and softening prices.
