My Interpretation of Fall Market 2025

What did we see as Real Estate Professionals this spring? We saw continued bidding wars which kept home prices slowly soaring. This went along with the economy’s inflation. High mortgage rates caused seller’s (that didn’t NEED to sell) to stay put, in turn, causing a lack of home inventory… it has been a cycle.

The typical routine has been to make a property live to MLS and all other marketing platforms on a Thursday, delay showings until an open house that Sat & Sun and then all offers due by end of day Monday. Easy peasy for sellers… a nerve wracking experience for buyers.

Because I represent both buyers and sellers, this is a tug of war for me professionally. I feel for buyers that have been left feeling pressured to waive home inspections, waive appraisal gaps, waive their negotiation rights as a consumer and so on. I am excited for my sellers that can use the equity from their current property to purchase another without having to balance a higher mortgage rate for said new property. We all hope for that scenario which leads wayyyy back to “The American Dream.”

With the very recent mortgage rate decrease, I am hopeful that this will help both buyers and sellers by slowly leading to a more “stabled” Real Estate Market. Let’s be real here… a buyer wants to be able to buy and a seller wants to be able to sell. Who really wins if prices are too high and unaffordable?

We now need to ensure sellers and buyers are aware if these changes. Now is a better time to list your home and is also a very good time to buy. Take advantage NOW.
