🛠️ What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

Buyers:

• Prices continue to rise, but opportunities still exist for negotiating below the asking price.
• Expect more competition on well-priced homes, especially those with developed land or upgrades.

• The shorter time on market is a positive indicator—properly priced homes are moving.
