We flew into 2026 with lower mortgage interest rates than last year, improved housing inventory, which forecasts a strong spring market for both buyers and sellers, and buyer demand is rising as a result of both. So, where is the leverage?  If you're a seller, do your repairs now. Even minor repairs will enhance the end result and sale of your home. If your home has significant deferred maintenance, that's a subject to discuss so we can address it within a budget or explore a listing strategy. Selling as-is or getting your home move-in ready are personal choices and need the right strategy and timing for each. Join Me. Be Moved.

 

After years of sellers having a strong upper hand, the vibe has shifted to give buyers more leverage. Here are the signs of a more balanced market:

✅ More houses to choose from.

✅ Less competition.

✅ Wiggle room on price (including sellers accepting offers below asking).

✅ Willingness to negotiate on contract terms.
