What It Means
For buyers. You have leverage. Homes are taking longer to sell and closing below asking, so there is room to negotiate on price, credits and terms, especially on homes that have sat.
For sellers. Price from the recent sales, not the hoped-for number. Homes that start too high tend to sit and sell for less after price cuts.

An illustration only, not an offer of credit or a loan estimate. It assumes the 7.24% average 30-year fixed rate from the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for October 29, 2026; jumbo loans, points, credit and down payment change the actual rate and APR. Property tax and insurance are estimates, and HOA dues and Mello-Roos taxes are not included. Many lenders allow a higher share of income for housing, and a larger down payment lowers the income needed.
