At the same time, pending home sales dipped 1.1% to a six-month low, as high housing costs left many buyers waiting on the sidelines, even with improving inventory. The median sale price rose 1.9% year-over-year to just over $400K, and average mortgage rates hovered near 7%, close to their highest in 13 months.<\/p>\n<p>For buyers in today\u2019s market, this dynamic of rising inventory and softer demand is creating new negotiation opportunities\u2014especially on homes that have been listed for several weeks. Sellers are finding that realistic pricing is key, rather than aiming for the peaks of past years.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who works daily with buyers, sellers, and investors in Central Ohio, I see how these national trends translate locally. My approach is always to provide clear guidance\u2014whether you\u2019re navigating multiple offers or seeking the right moment to make a move. In a market that\u2019s changing week by week, transparency and strategy matter more than ever.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#039;re seeing a shift take shape in the national housing market: Over the four weeks ending August 23, new listings in the US ticked up by 0.4%, and total homes for sale increased by 0.5%\u2014reaching their highest point since early Q2.
