Headlines swing from doom to boom. The truth is in the basics:
months of supply (inventory vs. absorption), days on market by price band, and your personal timeline. When supply tightens, “average” homes still move; well-prepared listings move faster and cleaner. Under ~$1M behaves differently than above ~$1.5M—watch how DOM and concessions change by band. Rates matter, but life events drive moves; underwriting readiness and inspection strategy often trump chasing eighths on a rate sheet.
Sellers: lean into pricing discipline and photography that looks great on mobile.
Buyers: be pre-underwritten, know your inspection priorities, and write clean terms. That’s how you cut through noise.
