And in a balanced market, strategy matters more than emotion.
Here’s what this means for you:

Almost 900 sellers reduced their price this week.
That tells us some homes were priced too high initially — which creates opportunity.
If a home has been on the market for a few weeks, especially with a price reduction, you may have negotiation leverage.
✔ Prepared buyers have an advantage
✔ Pricing matters more than ever
✔ Strategy beats speed
Over 1,000 homes went under contract this week.
Homes are still selling.
But pricing is critical.
The first 1–2 weeks on the market are the most important.
If you price too high at the beginning, buyers may skip your home.
Correct pricing + preparation = stronger offers.

There are more options right now.
Some homes are:
• Reducing price
• Coming back on the market
• Sitting longer
That can create opportunity.
But this is not a “buy anything” market.
Smart investors analyze:
• Days on market
• Price reductions
• Rental demand
• Area growth patterns
