Typically the Fall market is when we see listing inventory start to dwindle, as Sellers decide between pushing forward for a sale or waiting to re-list their home in the Spring. This typically happens between October/November once the colder weather hits our area. The biggest hurdle for buyers, of course still remains interest rates and finding creative solutions to making their payments manageable. I have seen a huge increase in creative financing and those with large equity rolling into a smaller home that they buy cash. Sellers still have options for making a move, but I do like to let them know that we are drifting away from the market we became accustomed to over the past 2 years. It is taking longer days on market to attract a motivated Buyer and it is more important than ever to stand out amongst your competition and work with a savvy listing agent. If you are considering a move, please reach out so that I can advise you on how to best play this market to your advantage! - Greg
