Nationwide, there were 1.53 million sellers but just 972,300 buyers in mid-Q3. Listings jumped 3.9% from the previous month (the largest monthly surge in recent records), while buyer growth was only 0.1%. That means if you\u2019re actively searching right now, you have more leverage than we\u2019ve seen in years: three out of five homes sold below their original list price, and inventory has reached its highest point since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>But even as some of that mortgage lock-in pressure has eased\u2014bringing more options to the market\u2014affordability is still tight. Thirty-year mortgage rates are holding steady in the high-6% range, and the national median sale price is up 2.2% year over year. With existing-home sales down 2% (a 3.98 million annual pace), it\u2019s a market in transition.<\/p>\n<p>Helping Biloxi residents and investors navigate moments like these is what I love most. After 23 years and more than 100 local listings, I know every shift brings its own opportunities. Whether you\u2019re thinking about making a move or weighing the timing for an investment, I\u2019m always here to share local insight and genuine care for your next step.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This season, we\u2019ve seen sellers truly outnumber buyers\u2014with a 57.9% gap, the widest since 2013.
