What It Means Right Now
If You’re Thinking About Selling:
· Inventory is still extremely low
· Prices are holding strong
· Buyers are still actively looking
This is still a great time to list your home.
If You’re Thinking About Buying:
· You may see slightly more time on market
· But competition is still there due to low inventory
Preparation and strategy still matter.
Bottom Line
The 2025 market shows us one clear thing: Demand hasn’t gone away—and until inventory improves, prices will remain strong.
