I know it’s confusing. One minute you’re seeing headlines about price cuts and homes sitting longer, and then boom: just yesterday, Las Vegas Realtors reported record-high home prices for the month of June in the city.
Here’s what’s really happening:
The homes that are hitting the market right now ARE NOT distressed. These are sellers with equity and low fixed-rate mortgages, not people in trouble. That’s a big difference from what we saw in past downturns. There’s no wave of foreclosures, short sale and no one’s panic-selling.
Some homeowners are testing the market with ambitious pricing, and while not every home is flying off the shelf, the ones that are, are superior to the others and sell for top dollar.
The buyers still out there? They’re serious, qualified, and willing to pay for the right home. And with more inventory and fewer bidding wars, it’s starting to feel like a more negotiable market.
Motivated sellers are still aiming high. Motivated buyers are still paying for quality. The key is knowing how to navigate both.
