What More Listings Mean When You Sell Your House
The number of homes for sale is playing a big role in today’s housing market. If you’re considering whether to list your house, today’s limited supply is one of the biggest advantages you have. Your house stands out more when inventory is low, especially if it’s priced right. But the supply of homes for sale is growing.
According to the latest data from Realtor.com, new listings (homeowners putting their house up for sale) are trending up:
This graph shows more homeowners are putting up sale signs compared to the same time last year. As Realtor.com notes:
“… sellers turned out in higher numbers this March as newly listed homes were 15.5% above last year’s levels. This marked the fifth month of increasing listing activity after a 17-month streak of decline.”
What This Means for You
If you’ve been putting off selling your house, it may be time to reconsider—before your neighbors do. While a surplus of homes isn’t expected, each new listing could pull buyer attention away from yours. If your neighbor lists their home, buyers may tour theirs instead. You want yours in the spotlight.
A great agent can make that happen—helping you get your house ready, highlighting features today’s buyers want, and pricing it right so buyers are drawn to your listing. Selling now gives you the advantage of growing options for your own move while keeping your home prominent in the market.
Bottom Line
Even though inventory is still relatively low, you don’t want to wait for more competition in your neighborhood. Let’s connect to review the perks of selling before more homes come to the market.
