We are now in a Balanced Market.
The influx of supply we’ve experienced this year, paired with higher mortgage rates, is most affecting our market conditions.
We are now in a window of opportunity for a not-so-perfect buyer. Those buyers now have an audience of sellers who are getting impatient. If rates come down, those not-so-perfect buyers will experience more competition from stronger buyers.
9 of 17 major cities are in Seller’s Markets. 2 of 17 are in balance, and 6 of 17 are Buyer’s Markets. All but two cities have weakened over the past month.
