Current Market Dynamics
The current U.S. real estate environment reflects a significant transition to a buyer's market, characterized by a drop in homeowner demand and increased supply. As many homeowners cancel contracts due to rising interest rates, sellers are becoming more anxious, leading to a notable increase in inventory—up to 37% year-over-year in some regions. This change has created a landscape with fewer competitors for buyers, allowing them to negotiate better deals. Real estate investors can benefit from finding motivated sellers who might be willing to accept offers significantly below the listing price.
