For Sellers:

Pricing strategy is crucial: With overbidding still strong, setting the right price can attract multiple offers and drive competition

Even condos and townhomes are selling at 104 4% of the list price, showing steady buyer demand

Inventory remains relatively low: While new listings are hitting the market, supply is still below balanced levels, making it an opportune moment to sell before competition increases

Marketing matters: Buyers are still being selective, so staging, high-quality photos, and strategic pricing can help maximize your home's value and attract the right buyers.

For Buyers:

Single-family homes are competitive: Prices have increased, and homes are selling fast with a 109 2% sale-to-list price ratio This means buyers should be prepared to act quickly and bid aggressively to secure a home

Condos & townhomes offer more opportunity: With a 2 6-month supply of inventory, buyers may have a bit more negotiating power compared to single-family homes However, prices have also risen, so waiting too long could mean paying more later

Be prepared for overbidding: Even condos and townhomes are selling at 104 4% of list price, meaning submitting a strong initial offer is key to staying competitive

Mortgage rates matter: With prices trending upward, locking in a favorable interest rate and getting pre-approved can make a significant difference in affordability
