This Week’s Market Report: What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know Now!

by Connie Colla

As we move deeper into spring, the housing market continues to shift — and smart buyers and sellers are watching carefully. Whether you’re thinking of making a move or simply monitoring your home’s value, here’s what we’re seeing in the current market:

📈 The Market at a Glance:

Inventory is rising, giving buyers more choices — but not enough to tip it into a full buyer’s market yet.
Well-priced homes are still moving quickly, especially if they show well and are in desirable neighborhoods.
Interest rates remain steady, hovering in the mid-6% range, which continues to influence affordability and strategy for both sides.
Cash offers and creative financing are back in style as buyers look for ways to compete without overpaying.

“In any market, who you work with matters — but especially in a shifting one. Success today requires strategy, experience, and timing. Don’t just list or look. Work smart.”
— Connie Colla, Luxury Realtor & Market Expert

🛑 For Sellers:

Now is the time to prep your home and price it right. Overpricing leads to stale listings, especially with more competition.
Homes with strong online presence and high-impact first impressions are getting the most attention.
Think: staging, professional photography, and strong negotiation — all of which we provide for every client.

✅ For Buyers:

Be patient, but ready to act fast when the right home hits the market.
Pre-approval is no longer optional — it's your ticket to getting your offer taken seriously.
We’re seeing more negotiation power return to buyers — from inspection credits to flexible closings.

If you're considering buying or selling, now is the time to talk strategy. I’ll give you a data-driven plan that fits today’s market — and helps you move with confidence.
