If you're a homeowner thinking about selling this summer (or maybe you're already on the market), here's something important to consider:
👉 Your home isn’t competing with the one that sold last spring for $50K over asking.
It’s competing with the house down the street that just dropped $25,000… and still hasn’t sold.
The market has shifted. We’re not in the frenzy of 2023 anymore where buyers had to throw out every contingency just to have a shot. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing — especially for buyers, who now have a little more breathing room and aren’t always forced to waive inspections or go way over asking.
But for sellers, this means it's time to be strategic.
🔍 What Does That Look Like?
If your home has been sitting longer than expected, this might be the time to pause, reassess, and reposition. The market isn’t out to get you—it’s just evolving. And the longer you wait to adjust, the harder it becomes to catch up.
That doesn’t mean you need to start from scratch. But it might mean:
Re-evaluating your pricing strategy
Taking a fresh look at how your home is being presented
Updating your marketing or showing plan
Sometimes a small shift can make a big difference.
đź’ˇ Buyers: Now Might Be Your Moment
For buyers, this shift means you might not have to fight tooth and nail for every property. You might be able to keep your inspections. You might even get some negotiation room. And that’s a welcome change.
