Clients have been asking thoughtful questions lately about where the market may be heading. One of the biggest takeaways is that while uncertainty continues to shape headlines, most experts are not expecting dramatic shifts like a major price crash, a flood of inventory, or significantly lower mortgage rates anytime soon. Instead, the market is continuing to normalize into a more balanced environment, where buyers have more choices than they did a year ago and well-prepared homes are still attracting strong interest and holding their value. It’s not uncommon to have 1 house sell with multiple offers over asking price and another to languish for weeks on the market. Meanwhile, the condo and town house markets are experiencing an abundance of inventory, creating longer market time and decreasing values.
