We’re seeing a subtle but meaningful shift in the US housing market: over the four weeks ending August 23, new listings edged up 0.4% and the total number of homes for sale increased by 0.5%, reaching the highest level since early Q2. While high housing costs are still sidelining many buyers—pending sales dipped 1.1% to a six-month low—the national median sale price continues to rise, up 1.9% year-over-year to over $400,000. The average mortgage rate hovers close to 7%, near a 13-month high. For active buyers, the result is more options and, in many markets, a stronger position to negotiate price adjustments or concessions—especially on homes that have been listed for several weeks. Sellers who price realistically are seeing the most success in today’s climate. As always, I believe the right strategy, clear-eyed pricing, and a coordinated approach to real estate and mortgage decisions help my clients navigate opportunities like these with confidence.
