The market is shifting, and it’s changing fast. Inventory is rising, homes are sitting longer, and buyers are beginning to regain some control. If you’ve been watching and wondering when to act, this is the moment to pay attention. Understanding the current trends can help you make smarter, more confident decisions—whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just explore your options.

More homes are coming to market. Right now, more properties are available than we’ve seen in quite some time. That means buyers have more choices, neighborhoods to consider, and more room to negotiate. It’s a noticeable change from the fast-paced, low-inventory conditions we’ve experienced over the last few years.

Prices are holding steady. Even with this increase in listings, prices haven’t fallen significantly. Prices remain stable in many parts of Southern California, including the Valley and West LA. Some areas are slightly leveling off, but sellers who price correctly still attract serious buyers.

Sales are taking longer. Homes are staying on the market longer, with some reports showing an average of around 90 days. This slower pace means buyers have more time to make decisions, and sellers must approach the market more patiently and with a solid plan.

Why more sellers are deciding to list now. Many homeowners were waiting for mortgage rates to drop before listing. With higher interest rates for longer, more sellers move forward rather than wait indefinitely. They’re taking advantage of stable prices and motivated buyers while those conditions are still in place.

If you’re considering buying or selling, acting with a clear strategy is essential. The market is changing, and proper guidance can make all the difference. I’m here to help you understand your options and confidently move forward.
