The 2025 Spring Market

The Lock-In Effect is Slowly Fading

The highest number of homes for sale are placed on the market from March through August, and the peak month is May, which marks the end of the Spring Market. While there are still fewer homes for sale that before COVID, so far in 2025, there are more FOR SALE signs year-over-year, and the “hunker down” phenomenon caused by homeowners unwilling to move due to their current low fixed-rate mortgage has been slowly fading.

While inventory is up this Spring, buyer demand has been dropping; and the Expected Market Time (the number of days it takes to sell all listings at the current buying pace) is at the slowest pace since 2019. This slower speed is precisely why 2025 is a “buyer’s spring.”

Precise pricing is the best strategy for today's sellers to walk away with the most money in the least amount of time. When a seller starts overpriced, requiring a reduction to secure success, the seller walks away with less.
