💡 What’s Driving the Market
|
-
Interest rates: Borrowing costs remain high, which limits how much buyers can afford.
-
Inventory: More listings mean more choice for buyers and more competition for sellers.
-
Sellers: Many are adjusting prices and improving presentation to meet buyer expectations.
-
Demand: Focused on move-in-ready homes with upgrades, modern design, and desirable locations.
|
|
📘 *In short, buyers want value for their money, and sellers who understand that are the ones closing deals. *

🔮 Market Outlook
|
|
Expect a price-sensitive but active fall season. With recent mortgage rate cuts and the potential for more easing ahead, early 2026 could bring a small rebound — especially for detached homes under $1.8M.
|
|
📊 The market is no longer in decline, but it’s not booming either. It’s stabilizing — which can be healthy for long-term balance.

🧭 Tips for Homeowners & Buyers
|
-
For Sellers:
-
Price competitively — homes priced too high are sitting unsold.
-
Highlight upgrades and energy efficiency — these can justify value.
-
Stage the home to help buyers visualize themselves living there.
For Buyers:
-
Negotiate confidently — you have more room to ask for favorable terms.
-
Explore areas like Burke Mountain and Ranch Park for better deals and stability.
-
Think long-term — focus on livability and future appreciation, not quick flips.
💬 In this market, patience and good research go a long way — there’s opportunity for both sides if expectations align.
