2. Will I Be Able To Find a
Home I Like?
If this is on your mind, it’s probably
because you remember just how
hard it was to find a home over the
past few years. But in today’s
market, it isn’t as challenging.
Data from Realtor.com shows how
much inventory has increased.
The white line shows we have more
homes for sale now than we did at
any other time in the past five years.
That means you have more options
for your move – and the best chance
in years to find a home you love.

3. Are Buyers Still Buying?
And last, if you’re worried no one’s buying with rates and prices where they are right now,
here’s some perspective that can help. While there weren’t as many buyers active right now
as there’d be in a normal market, that doesn’t mean nothing’s selling. According to NAR,
based on the current pace, we’re on track to sell 4.03 million homes this year (not including
new construction). Here’s what that number actually means when you break it down:
•
•
•
4.01 million homes ÷ 365 days in a year = 10,986 homes sell each day
10,986 homes ÷ 24 hours in a day = 458 homes sell per hour
458 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sell every minute
Think about that. Just in the time it took you to read this, 8 homes sold. Let that sink in.
Every minute, buyers are making moves – and sellers are closing deals. If selling your house is
part of your next chapter, we can make it happen. Roughly 11,000 homes are still selling every
day – and yours could be next.
