Advice for Buyers
High inventory in most areas = room to negotiate
Keep an eye on DOM and price cuts—they’re often signs of flexible sellers
Advice for Sellers
Rosemary aside, pricing right is still key
DOM is trending lower—the market is responding to value
Looking Ahead As we head into summer, we expect more active buyers but also a continued push for deals. With fewer new listings in some markets and higher sale prices in others, strategic pricing and expert guidance matter more than ever.
