Episode notes
Mild National Correction, Not A Crash
- National home prices are in a mild correction: nominally flat but negative in real (inflation-adjusted) terms.
- That means buyers have regained leverage even though this isn’t a widespread crash yet.
Sellers Losing Price Power
- Sale-to-list ratios fell below 100%, indicating sellers on average accept below-asking offers.
- Investors should expect growing acceptance of below-list offers as buyer leverage increases.
Negotiate Below List Price
- Offer below list price because average sales now settle under asking.
- Negotiate patiently to secure deals not seen since 2021–2022.
