Are you holding off on selling your home because you’re worried that today’s mortgage rates and prices are keeping buyers away? Let’s put things into perspective.
Despite what you might think, the real estate market hasn’t come to a halt. While home sales last year were lower than in a typical market, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that around 4.15 million homes still sold (excluding new construction). And the forecast for 2025 suggests that number will rise. That means more people are planning to buy this year—possibly a buyer for your home.
But even if sales only match last year’s pace, here’s what that really looks like:
Let’s break it down:
That means that in the time it takes you to read this article, 8 more homes have sold. Buyers are out there, and they’re making moves every single day.
If you’ve been hesitating to list your home because you assume buyers aren’t looking, let this be a reality check—homes are selling every day. Yes, higher prices and mortgage rates have caused some buyers to step back, but many still need to move because of job changes, growing families, downsizing, or other life circumstances. Real estate doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.
While some homeowners are holding off due to uncertainty, this could be your chance to shine. With the right strategy and a knowledgeable agent by your side, you can position your home in front of serious buyers who are ready to act. Less competition from hesitant sellers means your listing has a greater chance to stand out.
More than 11,000 homes sell every day—why shouldn’t yours be one of them? If you’re thinking about selling, let’s connect and create a strategy to get your home in front of the right buyers. The market is moving, and you don’t want to miss your opportunity!
