June Market Update: Getting Buyers and Sellers on the Same Page
If you're wondering where the real estate market stands right now—you're not alone. After years of dramatic ups and downs, many buyers and sellers are still approaching the market with outdated expectations. The truth is: this isn’t 2021 anymore. That era is long gone—and so are the bidding wars and lightning-fast closings. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
June 2025
2021: The Wild Ride
Back in 2021, it felt like the market was moving at warp speed. Homes were flying off the shelves with multiple offers, and sellers were cashing in—big time. Buyers, on the other hand, were often left scrambling. It was chaotic, fast, and fiercely competitive—like rats off a ship, everyone was making a move.
But then came 2022, 2023, and now 2024. The frenzy faded. Interest rates climbed. The supply chain crunch drove up the cost of materials, making home repairs pricier and slower. Homes that weren’t turn-key sat. The market began to level out—and we’re now seeing a more balanced playing field. But not everyone seems to have gotten the memo.
Where We Are Now: A Balanced—but Cautious—Market
The market today isn’t tilted toward sellers or buyers—it’s balanced. That said, it’s a delicate balance. Sellers who expect 2021-style offers will likely be disappointed. If your home isn't priced right and move-in-ready, it’s going to sit. On the flip side, buyers expecting to score a steal by submitting lowball offers may find themselves shut out entirely.
Yes, inventory is rising—but confidence is still shaky. Interest rates are hovering above 7%, and the spring market was only a tiny bit slower than expected.
So, What Works?
Working with agents who not only know the market, but who understand the data, is more important than ever. We’re using the latest forecasting tools—AI-powered platforms, market trend analysis, and local expertise—to help our clients make smart, confident decisions. Whether you’re pricing your home or preparing to make an offer, having the right guidance makes all the difference.
We’re pragmatic. Sellers need to know that unless your home is in pristine, move-in-ready condition, and priced correctly, you're not going to spark a bidding war. Buyers need to understand that the “deal” is finding a great home at a fair price—not undercutting the market in hopes of a miracle.
Our Takeaway for June:
It’s not 2021 anymore—and that’s a good thing. The chaos has settled, and clarity has returned. If you're ready to buy or sell in today’s market, success comes from being realistic, well-informed, and working with agents who bring both experience and technology to the table.
We’re here to help you navigate this market strategically and with your goals in mind.
