If you tried to buy a home a few years ago, you probably remember the whirlwind. Homes were listed in the morning and sold by the afternoon, sometimes without buyers even stepping foot inside. The pace was stressful, discouraging, and left many people sitting on the sidelines.
The good news? That kind of frenzy is behind us.
Today’s housing market is moving at a healthier, more balanced pace and that shift is creating real opportunities for buyers.
More Time, Less Stress
Right now, homes are spending an average of 58 days on the market. That’s a far cry from the days when properties vanished in just a few. What does that mean for you?
-
More time to tour homes
-
More space to think it through
-
More leverage to negotiate
In short: you’re back in control. Instead of rushing to make a decision out of fear, you can take a breath, explore your options, and make a confident move.
Local Markets Still Matter
While national data shows buyers have more breathing room, the real pace of the market depends on where you’re looking. In some neighborhoods, homes may still move quickly. In others, you’ll have extra time to strategize. That’s why local expertise is essential.
