Inventory has increased slightly compared to last year, giving buyers more choices. Homes that are priced correctly, professionally marketed, and presented well continue to sell successfully. Strategic pricing is becoming increasingly important in today's market.

With nearly five months of housing supply and a modest increase in inventory, buyers have more negotiating power than they did over the past several years. This creates opportunities to compare more homes, negotiate repairs or concessions, and make informed purchasing decisions.
