Today’s housing market is giving buyers a little more room to negotiate. 🏡

21% of U.S. home sellers cut their asking price in the four weeks ending Sept. 20. But the bigger story? More sellers are adjusting to today’s market and pricing realistically from the start.

“Those who sell their homes quickly are the ones who are getting savvier about pricing right from day one,” said Redfin Senior Economist Asad Khan.

In July, 1 in 7 home-purchase agreements fell through, the highest share in nearly three years. But cancellations aren’t suddenly surging, the bigger story is that buyers have more negotiating power.

With nearly 51% more sellers than buyers, homebuyers have more options and more leverage when inspections uncover problems, appraisals come in low or the terms of a deal aren’t right. Redfin Chief Economist @FairweatherPhD, and Redfin Lead Agent Vanessa Leimback, break down what’s happening, and what buyers and sellers can do to navigate today’s housing market.

Buyers have more room to negotiate. 🏡

Sellers outnumbered buyers by 51% in July, while the number of buyers in the market fell to a record low. Nearly 80% of major U.S. metros are now buyer’s markets, and in most of them, the balance shifted even further in buyers’ favor last month.

Still, real estate is local. Just six major metros remain seller’s markets, led by the New York City suburbs.
