Good News for Homebuyers: More Listings Mean More Opportunities

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the right moment to jump back into the home search — this might be it.

Over the past couple of years, one of the biggest frustrations for buyers has been the lack of available homes. But that’s starting to shift. According to Redfin’s Chief Economist, Daryl Fairweather:

“Now is the best time to buy in the last two years. Mortgage rates are comparable to what they were two years ago, and prices remain high. However, there is significantly more inventory…”

Here’s what that means for you: more homes on the market = more choices.

Listings Are Picking Up Momentum

We’re seeing homeowners list their properties at a pace we haven’t seen in quite some time. The number of new listings — homes just hitting the market — has been steadily increasing over the past few months.

That’s typical for the spring season, but this year it’s especially meaningful. With inventory climbing, buyers like you now have a better chance of finding the right home without the intense competition we saw in recent years.

Why This Matters for Your Mortgage Strategy

More inventory doesn’t just give you options — it gives you leverage. When sellers have to compete for buyers, you may find more room to negotiate on price, closing costs, or even get creative financing options.

And while mortgage rates may not be at historic lows, they’re holding steady — and that predictability can help you plan better and move with confidence.

The Next Step: Get Pre-Approved

If you’re considering buying, your smartest first move is to get pre-approved. Not only does it show sellers you’re serious, but it also helps you shop within your budget and move quickly when the right home comes along.

The housing market is shifting — and in a good way for buyers. With more listings, stable mortgage rates, and improving conditions, now could be your moment to find the home that fits your needs and your financing goals. Let’s connect and map out your homebuying strategy today.
