What do fall price cuts mean for sellers?
If your home has been on the market since summer without an offer, fall is often the time to rethink your approach. Buyer activity naturally tapers off as the holidays get closer, which means the number of people who might consider your home shrinks week by week.
Many sellers respond with a price adjustment. A single meaningful reduction typically sends a stronger signal than several small cuts, which can make a listing look stagnant. Price isn’t your only lever, though — some sellers offer to cover closing costs or help buy down a buyer’s mortgage rate to make the home more attractive.

WANT TO KNOW YOUR NUMBERS?

Most people track median price or days on market to understand real estate trends, but those numbers can be misleading. The stat that actually reveals the true health of a market is Months of Inventory (MOI).
MOI shows how long it would take to sell all current listings at the current pace of sales. It’s the cleanest measure of supply vs. demand:
Under 4 months: Seller’s market
4–6 months: Balanced
6+ months: Buyer’s market
Even when inventory rises, MOI tells you whether the market is truly loosening or still tight.
Take James Island right now:
MOI: 3.9 months → technically still a mild seller’s market
Homes average 103 days on market
Inventory is rising year-over-year
That puts James Island in a balanced-but-softening position. Prices are steady, well‑priced homes still move, but buyers have a little more breathing room than they did a year ago.

If you’d like to know your neighborhood’s MOI, just let me know — it’s one of the most useful numbers you can have.

When it comes to home buying, it's essential to consider the big picture rather than getting fixated on small price differences. For instance, with a 30-year loan at a 5.6% interest rate, the monthly payment difference between a $393,000 and a $400,000 mortgage is roughly $40. It's a relatively minor difference in the context of a long-term mortgage. After all, a home is more than just a price tag; it's where life unfolds. So, do the math, but also consider what makes a house the right home for you.
