In the four weeks ending August 23, new US listings edged up 0.4% weekly, with total homes for sale rising 0.5%\u2014the highest we&#039;ve seen since early Q2. At the same time, pending home sales dipped 1.1% weekly, hitting a six-month low as high housing costs kept many buyers on the sidelines, even though inventory improved across the country. The median US sale price is now up 1.9% from last year, topping $400K, while average mortgage rates hover around 7%, near a 13-month high.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean for those looking in York County? With rising inventory and a bit less competition, buyers are finding themselves with more room to negotiate\u2014whether that&#039;s on price or seller concessions. Homes that have been on the market for a few weeks often offer the best leverage for buyers. For sellers, realistic pricing is key in this climate; chasing last year&#039;s numbers can lead to frustration, while meeting the market with honesty and flexibility tends to create successful outcomes for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>Having spent 20 years guiding clients through all types of markets, I always aim to simplify the process and keep you informed with the latest trends and strategies. Whether you&#039;re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, navigating these shifts with the right information and strong negotiating can help you achieve your real estate goals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeing more homes pop up on the market can shift the energy for both buyers and sellers.
