The Housing Market Has Shifted — What Sellers Must Do Now
Selling a home in 2025 isn’t business as usual. The market has shifted—and if you’re not adjusting, your home could sit longer, attract fewer offers, or miss out entirely.
In the video, I walk through three big shifts all sellers need to know and what you must do to succeed. Here’s the breakdown:
1. The Buyer Pool Has Changed
We’re not seeing the same “buy anything” energy we saw a couple of years ago. Instead, buyers today are:
- More rate-sensitive: A small change in payment can knock a home off the list.
- More selective: They’re focusing on homes that are move-in ready or have standout features.
- More niche: They’re shopping for specific lifestyles—think more energy efficiency, better layouts, fewer outdated finishes.
If your home still carries yesterday’s checklist, it’s time for a refresh.
2. Inventory & Timing Are Playing New Roles
What used to be “low inventory” is shifting. Some markets are seeing more options for buyers, but they’re not necessarily buying just because there are choices.
That means:
- Timing matters — listing when your home shows best matters more than ever.
- Value presentation matters — homes that visually pop online and in person see better interest.
- Patience isn’t a strategy; being proactive is.
3. Strategy > Luck
Everything old (list high, wait for bidding war) is gone. Now smart sellers are doing:
- Market-based pricing from day one — no guessing.
- Smart marketing that speaks to what buyers now want.
- Value and clarity up front — what does this house offer the buyer, not just what it is.
- Partnering with an agent (or team) who knows how to work the new rules.
