  • New Listings Rise as Buyers Pull Back

    Recently, US new listings ↑0.4% and total homes for sale ↑0.5%, pushing both measures to their highest levels since Late-Q1 and Mid-Q2.
    At the same time, pending home sales ↓1.1%, reaching their lowest point in 6 mo as buyers faced >$400K median prices nationwide.
    Financing costs stayed in the mid-6%, only slightly below a recent peak, and some house hunters waited through economic uncertainty or hoped rates ease.
    With inventory building and demand softer, active US buyers may find negotiating room, including price cuts, concessions, rate buydowns, or repairs on longer-listed homes.

  • U.S. Office Downturn: Where Investors Look

    Luxury home sales across the US are as diverse as the landscapes themselves, with recent top transactions ranging from $3.7M all the way up to a staggering $130M. In fact, the highest recorded sale recently reached $130M, and other headline-making sales included $47M, $40.2M, $40M, $21.2M, $19M, $18M, and $17.5M spread across various markets. It’s notable that in four standout cities, even the fifth-highest sale still surpassed $10M—underscoring just how deep the luxury segment can go in some metros. One market stood out for its tight cluster of luxury sales, with its five priciest properties falling between $24M and $40M. These figures reflect only publicly marketed listings, so private or off-market deals may not be captured, and in nondisclosure areas, top numbers reflect list prices rather than final sale prices. As REALTORS who know the value of insight and guidance—whether you’re looking for oceanfront luxury or a welcoming ranch in Delaware—we keep our clients informed every step of the way. The luxury market may make headlines, but every client deserves the personal attention and expertise that lead to a winning outcome.
