Here is Why Now is a Great Time to Move

Last year, about 70% of buyers decided to hit pause on their home search—and for good reason. Inventory was extremely limited, home prices were high, and mortgage rates were fluctuating, creating a lot of uncertainty. It simply wasn’t the ideal time to buy a home, especially one that fit both your needs and your budget. On the flip side, many potential sellers also chose to wait, unsure of where they would go next or how they’d navigate the same challenging market.

But now, things are starting to shift—and the housing market looks more promising for both buyers and sellers. More homes are becoming available as both homeowners and builders re-enter the market. According to Realtor.com, housing inventory has increased by 28.5% compared to this time last year. While inventory levels are still roughly 20% below what we saw before the pandemic, the growth is a clear sign of improvement.

So, what does this mean for you? We’re now in what many experts are calling the “inventory sweet spot.” There are enough homes on the market to give buyers real choices, but not so many that sellers risk being lost in the crowd. It’s a rare moment where both sides of the market can take advantage.

In fact, housing inventory has grown for 17 consecutive months, and that trend is expected to continue. If you’re a seller, now may be a great time to stand out before competition rises. If you’re a buyer, you’ll benefit from a broader selection than we’ve seen in years.

The bottom line? If you’ve been waiting for a better time to make your move, this could be it. Let’s connect and explore whether now is the right moment for you.
