Fewer new listings hit the market this week, but price reductions stayed above 2,300, so there's still plenty of room to negotiate on what's already out there. Closings jumped too, meaning buyers are actively winning the right homes, so don't wait too long once you find one that fits.
Buyer Strategy:
👉 Focus on existing listings with price-reduction history.
👉 Move quickly once a home checks your boxes.
👉 Don't wait on new inventory, it slowed this week.
👉 Watch back-on-market homes for second chances.
👉 Use days on market as leverage.
New listings and coming-soon activity both pulled back this week, meaning less fresh competition for your home right now. Price reductions are still elevated, so accurate pricing from day one still matters. Closings jumped, a sign buyers are actively transacting for homes that are priced and presented well.
Seller Strategy:
👉 Take advantage of this week's lighter new-listing competition.
👉 Price accurately from day one.
👉 Make a strong first impression early.
👉 Watch comparable price cuts and adjust ahead of them.
👉 Lean on presentation to convert interest into offers.

New listings slowed sharply this week, but price reductions stayed above 2,300, so plenty of already-discounted opportunities remain on the market. The 155 back-on-market homes are worth a second look, and with less fresh supply coming in, this is a good week to focus on what's already available.
Investor Focus:
👉 Focus on existing price-reduction history over new listings.
👉 Revisit back-on-market properties.
👉 Run the numbers on cash flow before committing.
👉 Track days on market for motivated sellers.
👉 Weigh long-term neighborhood fundamentals.
