Buyers Have the Upper Hand as Home Inventory Surges

Real Estate Channel GM

Buyers have more choices than they’ve had in years as home inventory reaches its highest level since 2014. With more homes for sale, slower buyer activity, and mortgage rates continuing to affect affordability, buyers are gaining more negotiating power while sellers are facing greater competition. Home prices are holding relatively steady overall, but the market is becoming more selective—making accurate pricing, strong presentation, and aggressive marketing more important than ever for sellers who want to stand out.
