Discover why smart buyers are jumping in before the market shifts again.
Are you thinking about buying a home but feeling stuck in analysis paralysis? You’re not alone. A lot of people are waiting on the sidelines, wondering if they missed the boat—or if the market’s about to crash.
But here’s the truth: this summer is quietly becoming one of the best times in recent years to buy a home. Let’s break down three big reasons why the smart money isn’t waiting around.
- You’ve Got More Negotiating Power Than You Think
Remember a few years ago when bidding wars were brutal, and sellers could basically name their price? That script is flipping. Right now, there are more sellers than buyers, which means you finally have some real leverage.
Translation? Sellers might be willing to cover repairs, reduce their asking price, or help with closing costs just to seal the deal. It’s like walking into a car dealership at the end of the month—they want to make it work.
According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at NAR:
“With housing inventory levels reaching five-year highs, homebuyers… are in a better position to negotiate more favorable terms.”
So, no—it’s not a buyer’s market yet. But it’s definitely not a seller’s world anymore either.

- You’ve Got More Homes To Choose From
Inventory is climbing, and that’s great news for you. According to Realtor.com, more homes were listed this May than in either May 2023 or May 2024.
Why does that matter? More listings = more options. Your future dream home might’ve just hit the market, or it could be showing up any day now.
As Realtor.com’s Jake Krimmel puts it:
“With more fresh inventory hitting the market, buyers have better opportunities to find a home that fits their needs.”
And if you’ve been settling or compromising on your wishlist, this could be your moment to level up.

- Sellers Are Getting More Realistic on Price
Gone are the days of overinflated pricing and buyers blindly waiving contingencies. Homes are sitting longer, and guess what that leads to? Price cuts.
Nearly 1 in 5 listings had a price reduction this May—and that’s not a fluke. That’s five straight months of sellers adjusting their expectations. No, you’re probably not going to steal a house at 50% off, but you might catch a great deal on one that was overpriced out the gate.
Think of it like shopping the sale rack at your favorite store—some real gems end up there.
If you’re waiting for the “perfect” time to buy, you might already be in it. More inventory, more room to negotiate, and a little more price flexibility make this summer a sweet spot for buyers who are ready to move smart.
So why not take advantage of the shift? Let’s make your homeownership goals a reality.
