If affordability has been the biggest thing keeping you from buying, here's a little bit of good news. I've seen asking prices starting to come down, and the data backs me up. The typical asking price this May came in lower than the year before, going from about $440,000 to just shy of $430,000. The change isn't necessarily a big one, but it gives you a bit more breathing room. And this is good news for your move rather than bad news for the market. Prices are not crashing. It's just a sign that seller expectations are more realistic and the market's rebalancing. And while a small drop certainly won't fix affordability, every dollar counts right now. So if you've been waiting for an opening, let's connect and I'll walk you through what's available.
