Inventory is on the rise across the US, and that’s shifting the landscape for homebuyers. Pending home sales just reached a six-month low, while new listings and overall inventory have increased. This is giving buyers more opportunity to negotiate and secure better terms—something we don’t see often in recent years. The median home price still climbed 1.9% to $400,649, and high mortgage rates continue to push up monthly payments. Yet in certain markets, we’re seeing price drops and more seller concessions become part of the conversation. As someone who’s guided clients through many changing markets in the Augusta area and surrounding South Carolina communities, I know how important it is to navigate these shifts with clear information and a strategic approach. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, understanding these dynamics can help you move forward with greater confidence.
