2025 at a Glance

A Balanced Market for Everyone

Right now, the market is presenting real advantages for both buyers and sellers. If you're selling, prices are up significantly, demand is strong, and you're well-positioned to get top dollar with favorable terms.

If you're buying, yes—prices are higher than they've been in the past. But the competitive landscape has eased considerably. You're likely competing with 3 to 5 offers instead of the 10 to 15 we were seeing a few years ago. This gives you room to breathe, do your homework, and move forward with confidence. You also have more time and leverage when it comes to inspections.

And the latest development? Interest rates have dropped into the low 6s or even high 5s, which should bring many buyers who've been sitting on the sidelines back into the market.

Looking Ahead to Spring 2026

After another year of cautious, wait-and-see sentiment in 2025—driven by concerns about overseas conflicts, tariffs, interest rates, and even the price of eggs—many buyers held back. And for those who've been waiting since 2015 for the market to crash? There are still no signs of that happening, especially with inventory where it currently is.

We anticipate a really strong spring market ahead, fueled by pent-up demand and more favorable financing than we've seen in the last two years. Better news creates better buyer sentiment—and when people feel more confident about the market, more of them come out shopping for homes.
