Strong Buyer's Market

Buyers hold the edge right now. 9.5 months of supply is more than current demand absorbs, and the typical home takes about 99 days to sell. At the same time, sales volume is up 25% versus six months ago, and sale prices are up 2% over the last six months, though still 10% below a year ago, which keeps well-priced homes moving. Buyers are firmly in control and can negotiate hard, while sellers need sharp pricing to draw attention.
