Here Is Why It Is Time To Get Moving

Last year, about 70% of buyers hit pause on their home search and for many reasons, that made sense for them. Inventory was low, prices were high, and mortgage rates were unpredictable. It wasn’t exactly the ideal time to find a home you loved or could afford. And for sellers, uncertainty about where to go next made it hard to justify putting their homes on the market for sale.

However, things are changing now and it might be the right time to revisit your plans. We’re seeing more homeowners and builders entering the market, which means more options for buyers. According to Realtor.com, inventory has increased by 28.5% since this time last year. That’s a significant jump, even though inventory is still about 20% below pre-pandemic levels in most areas. 

So what does this mean for you? It means we’ve entered what many are calling the “inventory sweet spot.” There are enough homes available to give you real choices, but not so many that your own home gets lost in the crowd if you’re selling. It’s a rare moment where buyers and sellers can both benefit. Plus, inventory has been climbing for 17 consecutive months—and experts expect that trend to continue. As more homes hit the market, yours might stand out more now than later when competition increases. So if you’re thinking of selling, this could be your best window to act. And if you’re buying, there’s finally a better selection to choose from.

So the bottom line is if you’ve been waiting for the housing market to give you a green light, this is it. Whether you’re moving up, downsizing, or relocating, the balance of opportunity is better than it’s been in a while.
