Active Listings Are on the Rise
With the rise in new listings, active listings continue to trend upward compared to last year's levels. At the end of the week ending August 4, there were 35,608 active listings across the Bright MLS service area, a 28.2% year-over-year increase. Despite the higher inventory, the number of new pending contracts remains about the same as last year's levels, as some prospective buyers face affordability challenges or are waiting for mortgage rates to decrease further.
Interest Rates and Buying Opportunities
With interest rates starting to lower, now is an excellent time for buyers to take advantage of this opportunity to find and purchase their new home. Lower interest rates can reduce your monthly mortgage payments, making homeownership more affordable and accessible. If you've been on the fence about buying, this could be the perfect moment to explore your options and make your move.
