seller market
You still face competition in July, but the pressure is easing. Months supply of inventory climbed to 5.2, up 33.4% over last year, which means you have more time to decide and more homes to choose from. Homes are sitting a median of 23 days on the market, and while that's still quick, it's not the instant bidding war environment of a year ago. The sold-to-list ratio hit 99.0%, up 1.7% from June, so you're still paying close to asking price. The median sold price in July was $470,000. If you're ready to act, this market gives you breathing room to compare options without rushing into a bad decision. Sellers still hold an edge, but you're no longer forced to waive every contingency just to stay in the game.
