What Does Being in a Sellers’ Market Mean?

What Does Being in a Sellers’ Market Mean?
Whether or not you’ve been following the real estate industry lately, there’s a good chance you’ve heard we’re in a serious sellers’ market. But what does that really mean? And why are conditions today so good for people who want to list their house?
 
It starts with the number of houses available for sale. The latest Existing Home Sales Report from the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) shows housing supply is still astonishingly low. Today, we have a 2.6-month supply of homes at the current sales pace. Historically, a 6-month supply is necessary for a ‘normal’ or ‘neutral’ market in which there are enough homes available for active buyers (see graph below):
 
 
When the supply of houses for sale is as low as it is right now, it’s much harder for buyers to find homes to purchase. That creates increased competition among purchasers which leads to more bidding wars. And if buyers know they may be entering a bidding war, they’re going to do their best to submit a very attractive offer. As this happens, home prices rise, and sellers are in the best position to negotiate deals that meet their ideal terms.
 
Right now, there are many buyers who are ready, willing, and able to purchase a home. Low mortgage rates and the ongoing rise in remote work have prompted buyers to think differently about where they live – and they’re taking action. If you put your house on the market while supply is still low, it will likely get a lot of attention from competitive buyers.
 

Bottom Line

 
Today’s ultimate sellers’ market holds great opportunities for homeowners ready to make a move. Listing your house now will maximize your exposure to serious buyers who will actively compete against each other to purchase it. Let’s connect to discuss how to jumpstart the selling process.

Here's what most buyers don't understand about inventory... 🏠 A truly balanced market requires 6 months of housing inventory. Right now, we're sitting at 2-3 months, which means we're still in a seller's market - regardless of what you hear about interest rates or the economy. Want to know what this means for your buying power? Let's talk. #HousingInventory #RealEstateTips #MarketUpdate

The challenges we had in the real estate industry in 2024 were no joke. (Neither was the craziness of the three years before that!) Opening a brokerage and navigating a complex changing market all while legal changes are taking place has made me stronger and even more determined!

Everyone who has climbed a mountain would agree that “The best view comes after the hardest climb!” Now I get to share my lessons learned and tales of overcoming adversity and perseverance.
