What This Means

Lock in before prices stabilize.

Prices have dropped meaningfully and sellers are losing urgency. With more homes on the market and days-to-sale holding steady, you're in the strongest buyer position in over a year. Act now to secure your home at a discount.

Honest Caveats

Inventory is still historically tight at 2.55 months—it's a buyer's market by comparison, but not a buyer's bonanza. Competition remains real for desirable homes.
