Trying to make sense of this market? What You Need to Know

You’ve probably seen the headlines—prices are high, affordability is low, and the market feels like a waiting game no one wants to play.

‍

But the latest data tells a more nuanced story 👇

✅ Weekly home sales just topped 2024 levels for the first time this year.

✅ Inventory is UP 30% year over year.

✅ Median home prices? Just 1% higher than last year. (Altos Research)

So, while nationally the market is moving, prices aren’t surging.

🔹 The catch? Affordability is still a challenge. The typical home now takes up 32% of the average U.S. wage—above the 28% lending benchmark. (ATTOM Data)

💡 Real estate is LOCAL! Some areas are still seeing bidding wars and above-ask offers. Others? More price cuts, longer days on market, and more room for buyers to negotiate.

‍

It all depends on your neighborhood, your price point, and how much competition there is on either side.

This spring isn’t one-size-fits-all. I’ll keep you informed as the market evolves. 🔄
