Limited inventory means faster decisions
With fewer homes available, buyers are moving quickly to make competitive offers. Being prepared and decisive has become essential to securing a property.
Rising home values
Low supply continues to drive up prices. Sellers are benefiting from strong demand, often receiving multiple offers, sometimes above asking price.
Creative buying strategies
Buyers are getting more flexible, considering fixer-uppers, expanding their search areas, or adjusting their wish lists to find available options in a tight market.
Increased focus on move-in ready homes
With limited choices, buyers are prioritizing homes that need little to no renovation, hoping to avoid extra costs and delays.
Key shifts happening now
