🧭 Strategies for Buyers
✓ Take advantage of more choices and greater negotiating power
With fewer bidding wars, you can explore more homes without rushed deadlines.
✓ Monitor price reductions
About 3 in 10 homes have dropped in price—these are opportunities to strike a better deal.
✓ Don’t delay
Homes in the best shape or hottest locations still move quickly. Being pre-approved and ready to act ➡️ is key.
✓ Work with local expertise
I can help you sift through higher inventory and pinpoint the ones with the best value and timing.
🛠️ Strategies for Sellers
◇ Price competitively from day one
With growing inventory, sitting high on price can lead to long market time. A responsive pricing strategy will help you get seen and sold.
◇ Prep your home thoroughly
Since buyers can compare more homes, strong staging and curb appeal will make yours stand out.
◇ Be ready to negotiate
Prepare for offers below asking. Prioritize which concessions matter—whether timeline flexibility or repairs.
◇ Know the market’s pulse
Interest rates remain relatively stable, but buyer demand is reduced. A quick market analysis helps set realistic expectations.
