More homes are on the market than a year ago, and they’re taking longer to sell — both signs of a market that has shifted meaningfully in buyers’ favor compared to the last few years. Homes selling at roughly 96¢ on the dollar of list price, on average, tells a similar story: pricing accurately from day one matters more than ever, since overpriced listings tend to sit and eventually chase the market down.

What This Means If You’re Selling

A more balanced-to-buyer market doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling — it means presentation, pricing, and marketing matter more than they did when nearly anything sold in days. That’s exactly why the prep checklist, renovation ROI guide, and an accurate comparative market analysis are worth the time before you list. Homes that show well and are priced correctly from the start are still moving; homes that aren’t are the ones racking up extra days on market.
