Prices: Buyers Won’t Shop ‘Til They Drop

In June, home listings lingered longer than usual, causing inventory to accumulate in major metros like Dallas, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale. What’s behind the build-up? According to Redfin’s analysis, high housing costs are dampening buyer enthusiasm, slowing down sales activity even as more homes are hitting the market. 

In June:

  • 64.7% of homes had been on the market for at least 30 days without selling, up from 59.6% this time last year. 

  • The total number of homes for sale recorded the largest YoY gain ever, as properties hit the market—and stayed there.

  • The share of ‘stale’ listings (those on the market for 30 or more days) increased in 44 of the 50 biggest metros across the country.

While more homes are staying on the market longer, Redfin noted it’s primarily the less desirable listings that are slow to sell. Buyers are passing over homes that aren’t in a good condition, are further from popular neighborhoods, or that are unrealistically priced. But move-in-ready homes in sought-after neighborhoods and fairly priced luxury homes are still selling quickly—and getting multiple competitive offers.
