Episode notes
Modest September Pickup
- September sales showed a modest rebound with activity picking up after a very slow August in Seattle.
- Market improvement is present but not a full 'second spring' surge in prices or competitiveness.
Follow Canceled Listings Quickly
- If you see a listing you want that gets canceled or delisted, follow up because you can still make an offer.
- Track your buy box closely and act when listings reappear to face less competition.
Buyers Regain Leverage
- Buyers are consistently submitting offers below list price, producing a more balanced market compared with summer.
- Competitive offers are now exceptions, signaling sellers are no longer firmly in control.
