Real Estate Trends: Why Sellers (& Buyers) Benefit from the Spring Market

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!
First off, I want to wish a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who celebrates. I hope your weekend is filled with joy and appreciation.

Spring Market: Stronger Than Ever

As we shift from spring into summer, the real estate market continues to show promising momentum. We’re currently seeing more closings and pending transactions than we did 6–8 months ago. This spike in activity is one of the reasons I often tell clients: spring is one of the best times to sell a home.

The reason is simple—there are more buyers out shopping, and that increased demand gives sellers a better chance to stand out and receive competitive offers.

Yes, Inventory Is Rising—But That’s Not a Bad Thing

Some sellers worry about listing in a season where more homes hit the market. And yes, it’s true that inventory typically increases as we head into summer.

But here's the upside: more buyers are also entering the market, many of whom are eager to make a move before school starts or rates fluctuate again. I’d rather have a seller compete in a busy marketplace with high buyer traffic than in a quieter season with fewer opportunities.

Success in this market comes down to smart pricing and thoughtful presentation—two areas we focus on heavily with our clients.

For Buyers: Opportunity & Competition Go Hand in Hand

While it's a strong season for sellers, it's also a crucial time for buyers to stay focused and well-prepared.

The increase in inventory means you’ll have more options to choose from, which is great news—but those options can move fast. In a competitive spring/summer market, buyers benefit most when they:

• Get pre-approved early so they can move quickly

• Stay educated on local trends and pricing

• Work with a trusted agent who can help them move decisively and avoid overpaying

If you're a buyer navigating this market, our team is here to advocate for you, keep you ahead of the competition, and guide you through every step of the process with clarity and confidence.
