If you’ve seen headlines about home sales slowing down compared to last year, you might be wondering if now is even a good time to sell.
But here’s the reality: While today’s market isn’t as fast-paced as it was during the peak frenzy, that doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling. In fact, things are simply returning to a more typical, sustainable pace—and that’s not a bad thing.
Buyers Are Still Out There
Life doesn’t wait for perfect mortgage rates. Every day, people need to move because of major life changes—a new job, marriage, growing family, or downsizing. And many of those buyers are actively looking right now.
There’s a good chance one of them is looking for a home like yours.
Every Minute 8 Homes Sell
Let’s break it down using the latest sales data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Based on the current pace, we’re on track to sell 4.03 million homes this year (not including new construction).
- 4.03 million homes ÷ 365 days = 11,041 homes sell per day
- 11,041 homes ÷ 24 hours = 460 homes sell per hour
- 460 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sell every minute
That means in the time it takes to read this, another 8 homes will sell. Let that sink in. Every minute, buyers are making moves—and sellers are closing deals.
A Smart Sale Starts With the Right Strategy
If you’ve been waiting to sell because you’re not sure there are buyers, now you know they’re out there. But selling today isn’t just about putting a sign in the yard and hoping for the best.
You need:
-
A strong pricing strategy
-
A solid marketing plan
-
A local expert who knows how to position your home in this market
That’s where the right agent makes all the difference.
Bottom Line
The market hasn’t stopped—just adjusted. Buyers are still buying. Homes are still selling. Life is still moving forward.
If selling your home is part of your next chapter, now’s the time to make your move.
Over 11,000 homes sell every day. Yours could be next. Let’s talk.
