More Listings. More Leverage. A Market Shift Is Happening.

More Listings. More Leverage. A Market Shift Is Happening.

This summer, the real estate market is taking a turn—and it’s shaping up to be a strategic moment for buyers ready to make a move.

Here’s what we’re watching:

📈 Inventory is up 33.1% year-over-year (Altos Research)
🏷️ Nearly 40% of active listings have seen price reductions, the highest share in 2025 so far
📝 Mortgage applications jumped 10.3% this week and are nearly 30% higher than this time last year (MBA)
📉 Rates dipped slightly after a cooler-than-expected inflation report and are expected to remain stable

What does it all mean? Buyers have more choice, more negotiating power, and a better chance of landing a deal that fits their needs and budget.

If you’ve been waiting for the market to offer you more flexibility or affordability, this may be the window you’ve been waiting for.

Let’s connect this week to explore your options and build a smart strategy—before the market shifts again.

Happy house hunting!
