Is It Finally a Buyer’s Market? Here’s How To Tell and What To Do About It Article courtesy of Realtor.com

If you’re buying or selling a home right now, one question is likely on your mind: Who holds the power in today’s market?

After years of sellers calling the shots, the balance is edging back toward buyers.

Inventory has risen 10% year over year for the 27th straight month; though, on a monthly basis, active inventory fell 6.8% since December, according to the Realtor. com® January Monthly Housing Trends Report.

Buyer activity certainly increased in January, as pending home sales—listings under contract—grew by 1.2% year over year, but that number could continue to increase in February and March as mortgage rates finally hit a three-year low and actually fell below 6% on Feb. 26.

The signs are pointing to a more buyerfriendly market more than ever, which aligns with the Realtor.com forecast for 2026. Here’s how to read the signs and navigate this point of flux, whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching and waiting.

What does a buyer’s market mean?

In the simplest terms, a buyer’s market happens when the number of homes for sale exceeds the number of active buyers.

This shift in supply and demand gives buyers more leverage as sellers compete to outshine one another.

This is a notable contrast from the sellerdominated market that’s defined much of the past decade. Since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, new-home construction lagged far behind demand,

Is It Finally a Buyer’s Market? Here’s How To Tell and What To Do About It Article courtesy of Realtor.com

and buyers competed fiercely over limited inventory.

But in today’s slowly shifting market, the balance of power is beginning to tilt, even if it hasn’t fully flipped.

That means more choices, more room to negotiate, and often, more time to decide for buyers.

Indicators of a buyer’s market How do you know when the housing market is tipping toward buyers? There are several key signals: High inventory “The best single indicator for this is months supply,” explains Danielle Hale, chief economist of Realtor.com. “Typically, months’ supply above six months is the hallmark of a buyer’s market.”

To her point, newly listed homes edged up 0.7% year over year and surged seasonally from December, while pending sales rose 1.2% year over year—their strongest annual gain since late 2024

Inventory grew year over year in 46 of the 50 largest metro markets.

Only Jacksonville, FL, San Francisco, Chicago, and Grand Rapids, MI, saw a very slight decline in active listings.

Seattle experienced the most notable surge (+32.4%), followed by Charlotte, NC (+28.6%), and Washington, DC (+26.8%).

All of this means buyers are finally seeing more options, but not everywhere—and not evenly.

Slower sales Homes are taking longer to sell across nearly every region. In January, the typical listing spent 78 days on the market—five days longer than a year ago. It was the 22nd consecutive month of slower sales.

“In a buyer’s market, sellers can typically expect it to take longer to sell a home, and they may have to reduce their home price—either directly in the listing or by accepting a below-asking-price offer—to ultimately make a sale,” explains Hale.

This is advantageous for buyers, explains Hale.

Active listings are still 17.2% below prepandemic norms, though, the widest gap since spring 2025

“Buyers can expect that they will not only have more options to choose from, but also have more time to consider their choices,” she says.

“Homebuyers and sellers can also look for other clues that go hand in hand with a buyer-friendly shift,” says Hale.

But it comes with a major caveat, says Realtor.com senior economist Jake Krimmel.

Location offers a significant indication:

“Delistings are growing faster than

inventory overall, and in some markets, for price tier, the pattern is becoming clear: every two or three fresh listings, one home Sellers are no longer in complete control, is being pulled. and buyers are starting to regain ground.

“It’s a way for sellers to reassert control in a market where their leverage is fading,” he adds.

Is it a buyer’s market right now?

Price drops

When measured by months of supply, Miami, Austin, TX, and Orlando, FL, rank as the strongest buyer’s markets right now.

Tampa, FL, New York City, Las Vegas, and Riverside, CA, follow, respectively.

With listings lingering, price cuts have become a defining feature of the market.

Price cuts slightly decreased year over year, with 14.3% of listings discounted, down from 15.6% in January 2025.

Discounts are most common for homes in the $350,000 to $500,000 range, where affordability pressures are sharpest and sellers are more motivated. At the luxury end—$1 million and up—price reductions remain relatively rare as high-end sellers hold out for the right offer.

Concessions More motivated sellers can also show up in concessions. Mortgage broker Carlos Scarpero has seen a growing number of sellers offer financial perks to seal the deal.

“Even within cities and price points, trends can vary,” he explains. “I’ve closed several deals in 2025 with $10,000 or more in seller concessions. This is certainly higher than I have seen in years past.”

While these indicators vary by region and

It depends on where you are.

While buyers may have more leverage in these cities, real estate experts warn that it won’t be felt evenly across all segments of the market. Miami is a strong example.

While demand for condos priced below $500,000 has plummeted, single-family homes remain near impossible to find. On the off chance one hits the market, you’re likely to get burned treating it like a condo.

In other words, “know your segment,” Ana Bozovic, a Miami-based real estate agent and founder of Analytics Miami, told Realtor.com earlier this month.

The same can be said of the national housing market, which is in perfect balance right now. That means more buyer-friendly conditions than there have been in years.

“We’re continuing to see the market shift in favor of buyers,” says Matt Ryan of Bozeman Real Estate Group.

Is It Finally a Buyer’s Market? Here’s How To Tell and What To Do About It Article courtesy of Realtor.com

“In Bozeman, MT, inventory has finally returned to pre-COVID levels, giving buyers more choices and negotiating power. I expect this trend to continue.”

That buyer-friendliness is showing up at the local level, too.

South Florida. “On the flip side, singlefamily homes in prime locations are still seeing strong interest and less flexibility.”

That kind of split isn’t unique to Florida.

In many metro areas, buyers might find leverage in one segment while still facing competition in others.

“It’s definitely been tipping in the direction of buyers lately,” says Brooke Nelson, a While national stats offer a useful ReeceNichols agent in Kansas City, MO. snapshot, the real leverage is local. Buyers “Showings have really slowed down.” and sellers alike should compare today’s conditions with their market’s own And in some markets, the shift is already history, not just the national narrative. playing out in negotiations.

What seems like a cooling market in one city might still be red-hot in another.

“Every buyer I’m working with that makes an offer is getting a contract accepted,” What to do if you’re a buyer notes Mason Whitehead, a branch manager at Churchill Mortgage.

With market conditions starting to tilt in buyers’ favor, now might be the time to Local and regional variations matter most act, but strategy still matters. After all, competition hasn’t disappeared entirely.

While national headlines might suggest a Here’s how to make the most of your buyer’s market is taking hold, the reality position: on the ground depends heavily on where and what you’re trying to buy. Local Get pre-approved trends can diverge sharply from national averages, especially when you factor Even in a cooling market, speed can in price range, property type, and postmake or break your offer, especially in pandemic market dynamics. competitive neighborhoods or price tiers.

Watch the days on the market “Buyers have the most negotiating power in the condo market,” explains Aaron Buchbinder, a broker with Compass in

Homes that have lingered on the market are increasingly ripe for negotiation.

Is It Finally a Buyer’s Market? Here’s How To Tell and What To Do About It Article courtesy of Realtor.com

“Buyers should not be concerned with higher days on market,” says Melissa Bailey, a top agent with the Jason Mitchell Group. “Go see the home that has been listed for 62 days. It could be your home!”

Here’s how to stay competitive and avoid sitting on a stale listing.

Stay up to date

Buyers are still drawn to clean, move-inready homes, and the basics still matter.

Invest in staging, photography, and curb appeal. A strong first impression can make the difference between a quick offer and weeks of radio silence.

Price realistically

Gone are the days of aggressive Use contingencies and timing strategically overpricing and instant bidding wars.

A well-priced home will attract offering quicker timelines can also help more attention and better offers upfront. you stand out without raising your offer price.

Prepare your home well

Understanding local inventory trends, median days on the market, and pricing patterns can help you recognize when a listing is overreaching and when it’s genuinely a deal.

In today’s market, knowledge is leverage, and a well-informed buyer can often win without overpaying.

What to do if you’re a seller While the market might be softening, it’s still a solid time to sell if you adjust your approach to today’s more selective buyers.

It's a pleasure to meet people and assist them in finding the perfect home or lot. My favorite part of the day is showing properties. I look at it as an adventure. It's also where I gain insight into my clients' wants and needs. I work with sellers, buyers, land, acreage and foreclosures in Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Collinsville, Maryville, Hamel, Troy, Worden, Bethalto, Bunker Hill, Moro, Wood River, East Alton, Godfrey and Brighton.

My clients have described me as trustworthy, honest, caring and considerate. My philosophy is to put the needs of my clients first and prioritize their schedules when arranging showings. To keep their stress at bay, I handle most things for them and make contact regularly to present information helping to relieve their stress about selling or buying.

Originally from Bethalto, I've spent my whole life in the area, and now I reside in Edwardsville in a community of Holiday Shores with my husband, Kevin. You might get a chance to meet him at a showing or an open house.

Kevin and I have a son Paul, who is married with two kids and lives in the area. We enjoy our time as new grandparents with our wonderful grandkids—especially time on the water. You can even catch us swimming with our spoiled Labradors all summer. Boating is a big part of our life. I have been a Holiday Shores Ski club member for 39 years. We work with many kids, teaching skiing and acts to perform in ski shows. I've been the show director for many years. The excitement is priceless when a child learns to ski for the first time. But my unique talent is barefoot waterskiing. Kevin and I spend a lot of time on the water.

I take pride in offering a seamless, personalized experience that blends expertise with discretion and care.

After years of international travel, my family is honored to call the Metro East home. From Edwardsville & Glen Carbon to O’Fallon, Mascoutah, Troy, Highland, and the Scott Air Force Base community, I serve clients who value professionalism, integrity, and results.

My passion lies in creating successful outcomes while delivering a concierge-style approach tailored to each buyer and seller. Helping my clients achieve their real estate goals—whether securing a first home, a luxury residence, or an investment property—is not only my profession, but my greatest privilege.

A little about me; I started my career in the military where I served for 10 years. I'm your Military Relocation Pro! I have worked as a marketing manager and primarily as a supply chain manager. I have left all that behind and focus entirely on real estate now.

In my spare time, Heather and I like to take simple trips and enjoy our time off. I have twin daughters that are now off to college and excited about starting their lives.

I have been an active REALTOR serving Madison, St. Clair, Macoupin, and Monroe counties since 2017. My goal is to protect your best interests by advocating tirelessly on your behalf, whether buying or selling.

Real estate transactions can be stressful, but they don't have to be. I will work to lower your stress and make the experience as pleasurable as possible.

Having lived in the Metro-East for over 30 years, I am passionate about the area and love sharing my local knowledge of the communities, neighborhoods, schools, and entertainment with you. My favorite part of my job is getting to know buyers and their families to help them find the perfect place to call home.

Watching them fall in love with a home and seeing their excitement never gets old.

My five adult children and husband Tim continue to be my biggest blessing in life. When I am not hanging out with them, you can find me cheering on my favorite baseball team, the Cardinals, picking up goodies at farmers' markets, traveling or spending time with friends. I'm also passionate about volunteering weekly at the Glen-Ed food pantry.

I was born in Wisconsin and lived my high school and college years in Kentucky. Since getting married 22+ years ago, my active-duty husband and I have moved all over the country. We moved to O'Fallon in 2015, and while the adventures have been amazing, we are excited to settle here in Illinois and put down roots. We felt like we were welcomed into this community faster than in any other place we have lived. It is the small-town feel with all the benefits of a larger city. The people of the area genuinely made us feel at home.

Sometimes I feel like I didn't choose real estate - real estate chose me. My love for homes began with my Dad. He was a draftsman who designed and built both of our family homes. I would watch him design houses and listen to him talk about where things would go and what the symbols meant. I was fascinated! Riding on the bus as a kid, I would point out houses and say, "My Dad designed that house." Now, I'm the mom driving around and saying, "I sold that house."

Another reason I chose real estate six years ago is that it offered flexibility for my family life and volunteer work and a thorough understanding of how hard it can be to relocate, whether across the street or the country. Seeing the "ah ha" moments when they find THE house or knowing they are moving on to the next place with a sense of completion after selling their current home. Being a part of that momentous moment is special.

My clients are the best, and I'm grateful for their trust and help in growing my business by referring me to their friends and family. My experience as a military spouse prepared me to serve others uniquely throughout O'Fallon, Belleville, Fairview Heights, Swansea, Mascoutah, Columbia, and Collinsville.

I am thankful for my family. They are my joy. They have supported me as my real estate business has grown. My high school sweetheart and I share three grown children. My son followed his Dad's example, serving in the military. And my twin daughters are excelling at SWIC. When I'm not volunteering in the Scott Spouses Club, church, or BSA Troop 94, you can find me at the bowling alley, quilting, or finding a great place for photography. I also love reading, painting with watercolors, and doing yoga.

Born and raised in Belleville, I’m proud to help clients buy and sell their homes in the Metro East and Scott Air Force Base areas.

With the knowledge gained from a lifetime of living in the areas I serve, I’m able to find the right neighborhood and home to fit each client’s unique needs, hobbies and interests. I love showcasing our community and everything I love about it for people who want to call it home.

The thing I love most about my work is getting to know my clients, building relationships with them and helping them fulfill their real estate needs. My clients often become my friends, and I am so honored when they refer their friends and family to me because I’ve been able to provide them with such a positive experience.

My husband, Rich, and I live in Belleville and our two sons are students at Missouri State University. When I’m not working, I love spending time with friends and family, travelling, and enjoying all that the Metro East has to offer, from amazing music and sports to the great outdoors.

As a proud lifelong resident of Highland, I love connecting with and helping my clients make the Metro East home. From raising my family here, I know the benefits of the unique blend of small town community while having access to larger city amenities.

One of my favorite pastimes, is searching the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) platform for homes to fit my client’s requirements, then matching them to the goals they have for their own families.

As a full-time Real Estate Broker, I know how challenging the process of buying or selling a home can be. It’s such a great feeling when we get to the “Closing Table” and I know I’ve brought my expertise and have done my best to help my clients.

Thank you!
