Housing Market Shifts | Real Estate Market Update w/ Martin Perdomo

Send us Fan MailThe housing market standoff has arrived, and the numbers don't lie. After years of seller dominance, the pendulum is swinging decisively toward buyers – regardless of what mainstream real estate voices might claim.Fresh data reveals new home listings grew just 6.3% year-over-year (the smallest increase in three months), while total inventory sits 14.8% higher than last year. But this increased supply isn't translating to sales. Mortgage applications plummeted 3% week-over-week – the steepest drop since pandemic tracking began. Meanwhile, median home prices inched up only 1.2% to $387,000, with properties selling 1% below asking price on average. Just 28% of homes now sell above list price, down from 32% last year.What's causing this shift? Two critical factors: stubbornly high mortgage rates hovering around 7% (pushing typical monthly payments to a wallet-crushing $2,829) and unrealistic seller expectations. Many homeowners still cling to pandemic-era premium pricing even as 6.6% of listings face price cuts – up significantly from 4.3% a year ago. The resulting standoff leaves buyers with newfound leverage but still facing affordability ceilings.This market reality varies dramatically by region. Tampa and Orlando exhibit classic buyer's market conditions with falling listings and extended days on market, while Pennsylvania properties move more quickly. The disconnect between economic reports and ground-level reality highlights why conversations with active realtors and buyers reveal more truth than data alone.Ready to navigate this shifting landscape with confidence?
