Are You Holding Back on Selling Your Home? Here’s Why You Don’t Need to Worry
Concerned that high prices and rising interest rates have scared off buyers? It’s a common hesitation, but the reality might surprise you.
The market isn’t as sluggish as it may seem. While last year’s sales were below a typical market, about 4.15 million homes still sold (excluding new construction), according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). And with expectations for an uptick in 2025, more people are preparing to make a move – meaning more demand for homes just like yours.
Even if sales match last year’s pace, here’s a perspective that shows just how active the market still is:
Homes Are Selling Every Minute
Breaking it down:
- 4.15 million homes ÷ 365 days = 11,370 homes sold daily
- 11,370 homes ÷ 24 hours = 474 homes sold hourly
- 474 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sold every minute
Take a moment to consider this: in the time it takes to read this blog, 8 more homes have sold.
Buyers Are Out There – Even Now
If you’ve been hesitant to list your home because you think no one’s buying, let this reassure you: buyers are still searching for homes. Life’s major milestones – job relocations, growing families, downsizing – don’t pause for market conditions.
While higher prices and mortgage rates have cooled some demand, many buyers remain motivated to make a move. By listing your home now, you can capture the attention of these active buyers while other homeowners hold off, waiting for "the right time."
