Meanwhile, pending home sales have dipped by 1.1%, the lowest in six months, as buyers weigh their options with median prices holding above $400K nationwide. Financing costs remain in the mid-6% range, just off recent highs, so it\u2019s no surprise some buyers are pausing\u2014waiting out the economic uncertainty or hoping for friendlier rates.<\/p>\n<p>For those still in the hunt, a growing inventory and softer demand mean more room to negotiate, whether that\u2019s price reductions, seller concessions, rate buydowns, or repairs on homes that have been on the market a bit longer. An economist recently noted that buyers have a window of opportunity before things may pick up again in late Q3, and for sellers, pricing right from the outset is key.<\/p>\n<p>Here in San Diego, I\u2019m seeing these national trends play out locally too. My team\u2019s focus has always been on honest advice, strong negotiation, and making sure you feel informed every step of the way\u2014whether you\u2019re prepping your home for market or navigating the buying process. The goal: keep your move as smooth and stress-free as possible, no matter which side of the table you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re seeing a subtle but important shift in the housing market: new listings have edged up 0.4% and total homes for sale are up 0.5%, marking the highest inventory levels since late Q1 and mid Q2.
