Pending home sales dipped slightly compared to last year, ending an impressive eight-month run of gains\u2014largely a response to higher borrowing costs that have tempered buyer enthusiasm. We\u2019ve also seen contracts signed decline year-over-year, homes taking about 60 days to sell, and mortgage rates rising from around 6% in late Q1 to the high-6% range now.<\/p>\n<p>For those searching for opportunities, buyers have started to see a bit more negotiating room: the median list price slipped to $424,500, about 20% of listings saw price cuts, and active inventory rose by roughly 4%. Fewer sellers removed their homes from the market compared to last year. Still, even with these shifts, national inventory remains about 11% below what\u2019s typical before the pandemic\u2014reminding us that the underlying housing shortage continues despite some current hesitation on the buyer side.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I\u2019m closely watching trends like seller delistings, pricing strategies, and how regional differences may narrow as everyone adapts to firmer borrowing costs. In a market that\u2019s always evolving, my goal is to help you feel informed and confident at every step.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September\u2019s housing market offered some important signals for buyers and sellers alike.
