Homes Are Still Selling: Why Now Could Be the Right Time to List Yours

Homes Are Still Selling: Why Now Could Be the Right Time to List Yours

Think no one’s buying homes right now? Think again.

If you’ve been reading headlines suggesting home sales are down compared to last year, you might be wondering, Is it even worth listing my home right now?

Here’s the reality: yes, the market's pace has cooled from the frenzied highs we saw a few years ago, but that’s not a sign of trouble. It’s actually a return to something healthier and more sustainable — a normal market. And normal doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling. In fact, far from it.

Buyers Are Still Making Moves

Life doesn’t pause for perfect market conditions. People continue to buy homes during all seasons of the market, especially when big life changes are involved, like marriage, growing families, job relocations, or downsizing. Those buyers are still out there today, and they could be looking for a home just like yours.

8 Homes Sell Every Minute

Let’s put it in perspective using current data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR):

• The housing market is on pace to sell approximately 4.03 million homes this year (excluding new builds).
• That breaks down to:
• 11,041 homes per day
• 460 homes per hour
• About 8 homes every single minute

That means by the time you finish reading this blog post, 8 more homes will have sold across the country. The market isn’t paused — it’s just moving at a more realistic pace.

Why the Right Agent Matters More Than Ever

With today’s more balanced market, selling a home requires more than just sticking a sign in the yard. You need the right strategy — from accurate pricing and expert staging advice to digital marketing that reaches motivated buyers.

That’s where working with a trusted local agent makes all the difference. A knowledgeable agent will help your home shine, attract serious buyers, and walk you through every step of the process.

Bottom Line

The market hasn’t stopped,  it’s just shifted. Buyers are still buying. Life is still happening. And if selling your home is part of your next move, now is still a great time to take action.

Roughly 11,000 homes are sold every day — and yours could be next. When you’re ready to talk strategy or take the next step, I’m just a call away.
