Buyers Gain Unique Opportunities Amid Growing Inventory

After more than 25 years living and working as an owner broker in Westchester County, I've seen how shifts in the market can open up opportunities for buyers. Right now, national pending home sales have dipped to a six-month low, while new listings and overall inventory are on the rise. This gives buyers a rare advantage in negotiations—something we haven’t seen often in recent years. While the median home price has climbed 1.9% to $400,649, and higher mortgage rates mean bigger monthly payments, some areas are now seeing price drops and more sellers willing to make concessions. If you’re exploring your next move, it’s an interesting moment to consider how these trends might shape your investment.
