AGENT PULSE
RealtyWire tracks buyer demand, seller flexibility, inventory pressure, pricing conditions, mortgage sensitivity, and local market confidence through recurring responses from real estate professionals.
This Week’s Market Pulse
This week’s Agent Pulse shows sellers becoming more flexible as buyers remain payment-sensitive. Inventory pressure is rising in several Sun Belt and coastal markets, while luxury demand remains selective but active in high-income metros. Agents report that well-priced homes are still moving, but overpriced listings are facing longer negotiations and more concession requests.
Key Takeaways
- Sellers are more open to credits, repairs, and price adjustments.
- Buyers are comparing monthly payments more closely as rates remain elevated.
- Luxury demand is strongest for turnkey homes in prime locations.
