Did You Put Your Move on Pause? Here’s Why Now’s the Time to Hit Play

Remember when you were thinking about making a move last year, but the timing just felt… off? You weren’t alone. Nearly 70% of buyers hit pause on their home search in 2024. And honestly, who could blame you?

Between mortgage rates doing the cha-cha, low inventory, and sticker shock on every corner—it’s no wonder people hit the brakes.

But here’s the plot twist... the market is finally loosening up.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get back in the game, this could be your sign. Here’s why you might want to hit "play" again:

More Homes = More Choices

Inventory is on the rise (finally!), which means you're no longer choosing between a condo with shag carpet or a cabin that hasn’t seen an update since Y2K.

According to Realtor.com, inventory has climbed 27.5% since this time last year. So if you were holding back from selling your home because you didn’t know where you'd go next—you’ve now got options.

Big win for buyers. Big sigh of relief for sellers.

Homes Are Taking a Bit Longer to Sell (And That’s a Good Thing)

Back in the day—aka 2021—homes were flying off the market faster than a hot cinnamon roll at the Village Bake Shop.

Now? Homes are hanging out just a little longer—about 8% longer than last year, to be exact. That gives you the breathing room to sell and buy without feeling like you're playing real estate speed dating.

As Realtor.com’s Hannah Jones says, “Buyers may find a bit more give in the market.” Translation: You’ve got more wiggle room, and that’s a beautiful thing.
