Over the four weeks ending August 23, we saw new US listings tick up by 0.4% and total homes for sale climb 0.5%\u2014the highest since early Q2. Yet, despite improved inventory, pending sales have slipped 1.1% to a six-month low, with many buyers pausing as housing costs remain steep and average mortgage rates hover near 7%, just shy of a 13-month high. The median sale price has edged up 1.9% year-over-year, now topping $400K. For those actively shopping, this environment is presenting more room to negotiate\u2014whether that means price reductions or concessions, especially on homes that have been listed for several weeks. Sellers who embrace realistic pricing (rather than chasing the highs of recent years) are finding smoother transactions. With over two decades in residential sales\u2014including deep experience with REO and traditional homes\u2014I always encourage both buyers and sellers to stay attuned to these market rhythms. Smart strategies and patience can make all the difference.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a definite shift happening in the housing market.
