The real estate market is currently experiencing a whirlwind of activity that has left both buyers and sellers intrigued. Over the past year, we’ve witnessed a decline in inventory and an increase in interest rates, making it a challenging yet exciting time in the industry.
For those looking to buy a home, the current market presents a unique opportunity. Despite rising interest rates, there’s still a considerable number of eager buyers in the market. These buyers have a keen eye for the long game. They understand that purchasing a home now, even with interest rates hovering in the six and seven percent range, is a smart move. Why, you ask?
The answer lies in anticipation. These savvy buyers are considering what will happen when interest rates eventually drop. By buying now and securing a home, they position themselves to take advantage of lower rates in the future. They recognize that when interest rates decrease, housing prices are likely to rise. It’s a classic case of supply versus demand, and they’re staying one step ahead.
In this dynamic market, I’ve been assisting many buyers in securing their dream homes. However, it’s crucial to find the right property that suits their needs. Take, for instance, a recent listing that we introduced as “Coming Soon” on social media. To our surprise, we received two offers even before the home officially hit the market. These eager buyers were ready to act quickly and were willing to invest in necessary renovations and repairs after the inspection.
Speaking of inspections, it’s always advisable to get one before listing your property. Providing full disclosure about your home’s condition ensures you safeguard yourself as a seller. It also builds trust with potential buyers and can lead to smoother negotiations.
Pricing is another critical aspect to consider in this market. While it’s tempting to aim for the stars and list your property at an exorbitant price, it’s essential to be realistic. Pricing your home competitively, rather than unrealistically high, can help you attract serious buyers and achieve a successful sale.

Buyers with foresight are taking advantage of the present situation to secure their homes, while sellers are finding success with strategic pricing and proactive disclosure.
