Is there a Market Shift Happening?

🏡 More Listings. More Leverage. A Market Shift Is Happening.
This summer’s market is starting to shift—and it’s creating real opportunity for buyers.
- 📈 Inventory is up 33.1% year-over-year, and new listings rose again this week, according to Altos Research.
- 🏷️ Nearly 40% of active listings have had a price reduction—the highest share we’ve seen this year.
- 📝 Meanwhile, buyer activity is picking back up: mortgage applications are up 10.3% this week and nearly 30% higher than this time last year (MBA).
Rates dipped slightly after a cooler-than-expected inflation report and are expected to stay within this current range—giving buyers some rate stability to work with. Rates are currently hovering around 6.7%
