BUYERS ARE BECOMING MORE SELECTIVE

The market is still very much a seller's market, but buyers are becoming more selective.

Over the past few weeks, inventory has held steady at around 360-370 homes on the market. While many homes are still selling quickly, some homes that would have flown off the shelf just a few years ago are sitting.

Why?

I recently walked through a home that sold in a bidding war a few years ago. Today, it's listed only slightly above its previous sale price—and buyers aren't rushing in.

The difference wasn't major renovations or a completely different market. It was presentation.

Small maintenance items had been overlooked. Wall blemishes weren't repaired. The home didn't feel as polished or cared for as it once did.

Here's what sellers need to know: Buyers don't just buy a house—they buy confidence.

When a home feels well-maintained, buyers tend to overlook imperfections. When it doesn't, every deferred maintenance item suddenly becomes a bigger concern.

The good news? Most of these issues are inexpensive to address before listing.
