After eight months of yearly gains, pending home sales have edged slightly negative\u2014higher borrowing costs are prompting many buyers to take a step back. We\u2019re also seeing contract signings soften, homes now taking about 60 days to sell, and mortgage rates rising from around 6% in late Q1 to the high-6% range.<\/p>\n<p>On the buyer\u2019s side, there\u2019s a bit more room to negotiate: the median list price has slipped to $424,500, price cuts are happening on roughly 20% of listings, delistings have decreased compared to last year, and active inventory is up by about 4%. Yet, despite these fresh listings, national inventory remains about 11% below what we\u2019d expect before the pandemic, highlighting that the underlying shortage continues even as buyers hesitate.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, experts are closely watching how sellers approach pricing, the pace of delistings, and whether regional trends keep narrowing as everyone adjusts to firmer borrowing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Having guided clients across North Jersey for over a decade, I know how shifts like these can feel overwhelming\u2014especially when you\u2019re navigating a market that\u2019s always evolving. Whether you\u2019re considering your next move or just want a local perspective, I\u2019m here to help you understand what these trends mean for your goals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we step into September, the housing market is sending a few clear signals.
