Advice for Buyers
Take advantage of motivated sellers—especially in luxury zones
Look for recently reduced listings or those with long DOM
Be ready to negotiate on price and concessions
Advice for Sellers
Price it right from the start—overpricing leads to longer DOM
Focus on presentation: homes that look polished sell faster
Don’t expect bidding wars in this climate—expect educated buyers
Looking Ahead As summer approaches, we could see an influx of new listings. That could further increase buyer options—and seller competition. Expect buyers to remain cautious, but active, especially under $2M.
