For a while, many hopeful homebuyers hit the pause button. Rising mortgage rates and affordability challenges made buying feel out of reach. But now, things are shifting. Buyers are adjusting to the new normal, and more of them are getting back into the market.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
“Home buyers seem to be getting over the shock of mortgage rates in the mid- to upper-6% range.”
That’s great news if you’re thinking about selling! Serious buyers are actively looking and that could mean more interest in your home.
📈 Mortgage Applications Are Rising
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reports that mortgage applications are up 37% since the start of the year—a clear signal that more buyers are getting serious about making a move.
🔎 Buyer Demand Is Growing
Redfin’s Homebuyer Demand Index shows a 3% increase since late January. It’s a steady climb, showing that momentum is building in the market.
🚪 More Home Showings
According to ShowingTime, home showings have jumped 13% since the beginning of the year. More buyers walking through homes means more opportunities for sellers like you.
Spring is right around the corner, and it’s the busiest time of year for real estate. More homes will hit the market, but that also means more competition. Listing now puts you in a great position to attract buyers before the market gets crowded.
Buyer activity is picking up, and that’s your cue to jump back in too. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to sell, this is it!
