Seller Concessions Reach a New US Peak
We’re seeing a shift in the real estate landscape: in the rolling 3-month period ending Mid-Q3, about 45% of U.S. home sales included seller concessions—the highest Mid-Q3 share on record since at least 2020. This is up from around 43% a year ago, a sign that buyers are gaining more leverage as increased inventory and lighter competition reshape the market. Concessions aren’t just about dropping the price; they often include help with repairs, closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns. For many buyers, these options can make the path to homeownership more accessible and affordable. I’ve noticed sellers are now competing by offering closing-cost credits and rate buydowns, not just price reductions, which gives buyers more flexibility at the negotiation table. In fact, nationally, about 16% of homes sold in Mid-Q3 combined a price reduction with a concession, further lowering entry costs for buyers. Navigating these evolving opportunities is part of what I love about guiding clients here in the High Desert—each transaction is unique, and I’m committed to making sure you have every advantage as you build the life you envision.

Homebuyers Enjoy Greater Choice as Listings Reach Six-Year High
We’re seeing a significant shift in the U.S. housing market right now: there are 57.9% more home sellers than buyers, with listings at their highest point in six years. Inventory has grown by 3.9%, while the number of buyers has barely changed—up just 0.1%. However, elevated mortgage rates and sustained home prices continue to make affordability a real challenge. Sales activity is slowing as a result. As someone who’s helped clients navigate both buyer’s and seller’s markets in the High Desert for over 15 years, I know how important it is to approach these changes with clear communication and a well-informed strategy. Whether you’re considering a move or just curious about what this means for your real estate goals, my commitment is to guide you with honesty and the local expertise you deserve. Real estate isn’t just about transactions; it’s about building a future that fits your vision.
