Strategic Guidance for Sellers & Buyers

• For Sellers: With 67.5% of homes selling below original list price and 446 listings expiring or withdrawing, launching with a rigid price and sitting back is no longer viable. Success this autumn requires a dynamic marketing strategy that anticipates a longer listing lifecycle—especially in upper price tiers.
  
  
• For Buyers: Today’s buyers are cautious and rate-sensitive—even as national data shows a significant demographic of buyers who remember historic double-digit interest rates. High tension around rate fluctuations contributed to our firm seeing three separate buyers walk away right before closing this quarter. Patience, thorough contract structuring, and clear communication are vital.
