The August market gave buyers more breathing room. Homes stayed on the market for 27 days, up 68.8% from July, so you're no longer racing through same-day decisions. Inventory rose to 4.0 months of supply, up 71.5% year over year, which means you'll see more options and less pressure to waive contingencies or overpay. This is still a seller's market. The sold-to-list ratio held at 97.5%, so homes are selling close to asking. You're not getting deep discounts, but you do have time to inspect properly, compare a few properties, and negotiate repairs. If you've been waiting for the frenzy to ease, this is what that looks like.
