500,000 More Sellers Than Buyers? What the Numbers Really Mean for the Housing Market

Derrick Thornton, REALTOR® Season 1 Episode 57

The housing market is showing signs of a shift—but not in the way you might expect. In this episode, we dive into a recent CNN article that reveals there are now around 500,000 more home sellers than buyers, signaling a potential market change. Yet, prices continue to climb, marking 22 straight months of year-over-year gains. We’ll explore why rising prices don’t always mean homes are more affordable, why sellers need to be more conservative with pricing, and how buyers can use this shift to their advantage with incentives and negotiation opportunities. Tune in to make sense of these market dynamics and discover strategies whether you’re buying or selling!
