As summer winds down, we're seeing some interesting shifts in the housing market: new U.S. home listings have edged up by 1.2%, reaching a three-month high. On the other hand, pending sales have dipped 1.3%, marking their lowest point since March. The median asking price slipped by 0.1%, even though the median sale price is still 1.8% higher than this time last year. Higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty continue to shape the landscape. Having worked in Middle Tennessee real estate since 2005, I've learned that local trends can mirror national movements in surprising ways. My years of experience—serving as President at both the local and state levels for the Women's Council of Realtors—have taught me how to guide clients through every kind of market. If you ever wonder how these numbers might affect your next move in Middle Tennessee, know that you're not alone in navigating these changes.
