15-year fixed: 6.42%

🏠 SELLERS: More inventory means buyers have choices. The homes that are priced correctly and presented beautifully are still selling—but buyers are becoming much less forgiving of overpricing.

🔑 BUYERS: This is where opportunity starts. Watch summer listings with longer market times, previous reductions and deferred updates. Don’t negotiate only on price—seller closing-cost credits and mortgage-rate buydowns can be extremely valuable in today’s rate environment.

🔮 MY PREDICTION: October will widen the gap between the best listings and everything else. Standout Cape Ann homes can still command exceptional prices, while overpriced properties will become increasingly negotiable.

Thinking about buying or selling? The strategy matters more now than it did six months ago. I’d be happy to show you exactly what these numbers mean for your property.
