Rising Inventory: What It Means for Buyers and Sellers in 2025
We’re wrapping up a year of market shifts, and there’s a lot to cover—home prices, inventory trends, and what this could mean for 2025. Stay tuned for our full year-end market report coming soon!
Here’s a quick recap of recent inventory trends:
Inventory Growth: Active listings (blue line) have steadily increased, surpassing pre-pandemic levels since September 2024.
Seasonal Trends: Sold listings (yellow line) show regular seasonal peaks and slowdowns.
Rising Competition: The growing gap between active and pending listings suggests homes are taking longer to sell.
Market Implications: For sellers, this means morecompetition, making it critical to price strategically and prepare homes for market. For buyers, the increased inventory offers more options and potentialnegotiatingpower.
We’ve had several sellers reach out to start prepping their homes for the new year. Based on what we’re seeing, inventory is expected to keep rising in Q1, which means morecompetition. Selling sooner rather than later could be a smart move to stay ahead of the market.
We’ve also had many requests for home equity reviews and valuations. If you’d like a free personalized equity review, reply to this email, and we’ll get started. Not quite ready? Use our instant home valuation tool below for a quick, free estimate!
Our seller enjoyed many wonderful years here, both as a family vacation home and as a rental. The buyer, a past guest, loved it so much she decided to purchase!
The garage had been converted into a 4th bedroom but had to be restored back to a garage to meet the buyer’s FHA loan requirements. We quickly coordinated vendors to handle the work, secured re-inspection, and closed the deal in under 30 days.
With similar homes averaging 51 days on the market, we’re thrilled at how quickly we got this one sold.
