In this brief market update, Jay Quigley addresses a common concern among prospective home sellers: whether there are active buyers in the current market. He cites a key data point that online searches for homes for sale have risen by over 20% compared to the same period last year, indicating heightened buyer interest. While he acknowledges that overall buyer traffic has not returned to the 2020‑2021 peak levels, he emphasizes that the upward trend shows buyers are still purchasing homes and that activity is stronger than a year ago. Quigley concludes by encouraging sellers to view this as evidence that the market is not frozen and invites them to connect with him to discuss how these trends could impact their individual sale.
