More Homes Are Popping Up—But Is It Enough?

If you’ve spent the past few years trying to help clients buy homes in a market that felt picked clean, good news: inventory is finally growing. After what felt like a real estate drought, more homes are hitting the market across the U.S.—and faster than you might think. But here’s the thing: not every zip code is experiencing that same bounce back. That’s where your local expertise comes in clutch.

National Inventory Is On the Rise—And That’s a Big Deal

Let’s talk numbers. Every U.S. region is seeing more homes for sale than this time last year. In fact, inventory is up at least 19% nationwide—and in the West, it’s skyrocketed over 40%!

What’s fueling this surge? Two things:

• More sellers are finally listing. Many homeowners were sitting tight, waiting for mortgage rates to dip. But now, some are moving forward anyway.
  
  
• Homes are sitting on the market longer. The average home now takes 51 days to sell—meaning more listings are sticking around longer, and giving buyers more options.
  
  

That combo is bringing real, noticeable change. We’re not fully in buyer’s market territory yet, but the scales are starting to balance.

Not All Markets Are Created Equal

Here’s the catch: while the national picture looks better, local inventory varies wildly.

Some areas are cruising back toward pre-2020 levels. Others? Still crawling. That’s why buyers need a smart agent who knows what’s really happening on the ground. A graph might show “growth,” but only a local pro knows whether that means one new listing in your price range… or fifty.

This Is the Moment Agents Have Been Waiting For

If you’re a real estate agent, this shift in inventory is a huge opportunity. Buyers who felt hopeless a year ago are coming back—but they need guidance.

They don’t just want a tour guide. They want a market insider, someone who can spot the sweet spots, navigate price changes, and act fast when inventory hits.

This is your time to shine—and your time to grow.

Inventory is improving across the board—but whether your market feels “normal” again depends on where you’re looking. If you’re a buyer, don’t navigate this shift alone. And if you’re an agent, now’s the time to lean in and own your expertise.
