What This Means

Prices Stalled, Sellers Blinking — Act Before Rates Move

Calera prices haven't budged in three months and nearly half of sellers are cutting. That's your window to negotiate below ask. Lock in a home now before any rate dip brings more competing buyers back into the market.

Honest Caveats

Inventory is still under 3 months, which means this isn't a full buyer's market — well-priced homes do move. The market action index of 33 still favors sellers slightly, so don't lowball so hard that you lose a home you love.
