Over the past four weeks ending August 23, new home listings in the US nudged up by 0.4%, with total homes for sale rising 0.5%\u2014the highest we&#039;ve seen since early spring. At the same time, pending home sales dipped by 1.1% to a six-month low, as higher housing costs kept many would-be buyers on the sidelines, even with more options available. The median sale price has climbed 1.9% year-over-year, now sitting above $400,000, while average mortgage rates hover near 7%, just shy of a 13-month high. With inventory up and demand a bit softer, those who are actively shopping might find more room to negotiate, especially on homes that have been listed for a few weeks. Sellers are finding that realistic pricing\u2014rather than chasing last year&#039;s numbers\u2014brings better results. My approach is always to offer honest guidance and support, helping you feel confident every step of the way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#039;ve always believed in making the home-buying journey as easy and stress-free as possible, and right now, buyers are seeing some shifts that could make a difference.
