Over the four weeks ending August 23, new listings in the US increased by 0.4% week-over-week, and total homes for sale rose by 0.5%\u2014the highest we&#039;ve seen since early in the second quarter. At the same time, pending home sales dipped by 1.1% to reach a six-month low, with elevated housing costs keeping many buyers on the sidelines, even though inventory is improving nationwide. The median US home-sale price is now up 1.9% year-over-year, sitting above $400,000, and average mortgage rates are hovering around 7%, close to a 13-month high. With more inventory and softer demand, buyers currently have more room to negotiate on price and concessions in many markets. From experience, homes that have been listed for several weeks often provide the most leverage for buyers, while sellers benefit from realistic pricing rather than holding out for last year\u2019s numbers. My commitment remains to guide you through this changing market thoughtfully and to advocate for your best interests every step of the way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#039;re seeing more homes come onto the market, as demand has started to cool slightly.
