💡 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
✅ Buyers are in a better position this summer—with rising inventory, room to negotiate, and more time to make decisions.
❗ Sellers, however, need to price realistically. Chasing yesterday’s market can lead to longer DOM (Days on Market) and multiple price reductions. The average SP/LP ratios below 100% across all three markets show that homes aren’t selling over asking—they’re selling for what they’re truly worth in this new landscape.
📍 Pro Tip: Don’t just go by the sold price you see online—ask your REALTOR® for the full listing history. Many “sold” homes were first terminated, relisted, or repriced.t advice.
