What This Means for You

Buyers:

Douglas County continues to move further into buyer-friendly territory, with 5.90 months of inventory and 629 active residential listings. Although fewer new properties came to market this week, buyers still have a large selection to choose from and 63 properties reduced their prices. That combination continues to give buyers negotiating power, but the jump in pending sales shows that other buyers are taking notice too. Well-priced and desirable homes can still attract competition.

Sellers:

There are some encouraging signs for sellers this week. Pending sales jumped from 43 to 63, while closed sales increased from 35 to 39. That tells us buyers are still willing to act even with mortgage rates near 7%. However, with inventory approaching six months and another 63 price reductions this week, buyers remain very sensitive to value. Pricing correctly from the beginning and making your home stand out from the competition continue to be extremely important.

Market Insight

The number that really stands out is 63 pending sales, up from 43 last week. That's an increase of nearly 47% in a single week, even as new listings dropped from 46 to 36.

That suggests the market isn't simply slowing down. Instead, we're seeing buyers become more selective and move forward when they find the right combination of home, condition, and price.
