A few of my buyers are complaining. They want to know why the houses we’re looking at are sad and why no new houses are coming on the market. Much of what’s available has been on the market for many weeks.
We are in the doldrums of summer. People are away on vacation, many of the “fabulous” houses sold in the earlier spring and summer months, and sellers are now waiting until after Labor Day and school starts to list their homes. That’s the advice I’m giving my future sellers and I know other agents are doing the same thing.
The market is slow, for both buyers and sellers. Give it a few more weeks and things will pick up. They always do.
Now, go to the beach and enjoy the few days we have left in August. The market will be here for you and have more offerings in September.
