Want to know who's got the upper hand in today's housing market? One number tells you almost everything you need to know. It's the months' supply of homes for sale.

If there's fewer than 4 months? Sellers have the advantage.
Between 4-6 months? Buyers and sellers are on equal footing.
More than 6 months? Buyers have the power.

Right now, nationally, this is the most balanced market we've seen in years.

People are still buying plenty of homes.

If you've been thinking about selling, you've probably seen plenty of headlines suggesting buyers have just about disappeared.

If the first half of this year has left you feeling stuck, you're definitely not the only one.

Mortgage rates stayed higher than people hoped. Affordability was still tough. And every time it felt like things might improve, something else got in the way. But here's the good news.

A lot of housing experts think the second half of the year could start heading in a better direction. Not because everything magically gets fixed overnight...

But because if inflation cools off and things settle down overseas, mortgage rates could ease, more buyers could jump back in, and the market could finally start feeling a little less stuck.

Will everything suddenly be easy? Probably not. But after the first half we've had, "better" is a pretty good place to start.

If you're wondering what that could mean for your plans (or for our local market), send me a message.

I’ve got the latest forecasts on rates, prices, and more. And I'd be happy to walk you through what to expect.

Every sale sends money flowing through your area. NAR data shows that buying an existing home (one that's already been lived in) adds about $64,000 to the local economy. Buy a newly built home, and that number climbs to more than $134,000

Buying or selling a home is a big financial decision. And right now, it feels even bigger.

One of the biggest reasons this market hasn't cracked is the financial strength of the American homeowner. According to Federal Reserve data, homeowner equity and mortgage debt were nearly identical in 2008. That means, if someone hit a rough patch, they had almost nothing to fall back on. That’s what made that crash so bad.

You've probably heard plenty of doom and gloom about the housing market lately.
