Today’s Real Estate Market Looks Different — Here’s How Sellers Can Win
A few years ago, home inventory was at a record low — everything sold fast. But times have changed.
👉 Listings are up nearly 20% year-over-year, and in many areas inventory is back to 2017–2019 levels.
More homes on the market means one thing for sellers:
✅ Your home MUST stand out from day one.
What’s driving the inventory increase?
It’s not just new listings — it’s active listings that are sitting longer. Homes that aren’t priced right or properly prepared are stacking up on the market instead of selling.
So… why do some homes move quickly while others collect dust?
Here’s what causes listings to stall out ⬇️
• Overpricing based on outdated market expectations
• Skipping repairs buyers expect today
• Poor staging or presentation
• Limited showing availability
• Weak marketing & low-quality listing photos
💡 When inventory was tight, sellers could get away with these mistakes.
But in today’s Central Texas real estate market, strategy matters.
🎯 How Sellers Succeed Right Now
To capture buyer attention fast:
✔ Price based on TODAY’S comps
✔ Make smart repairs
✔ Highlight your home’s best features
✔ Launch with a strong marketing plan
Because when a house hits the market ready to impress — it still sells, and fast.
📌 According to NAR, sellers using an agent are nearly 2x more likely to accept an offer within the first month.
🏡 Bottom Line
More inventory doesn’t have to work against you.
With the right guidance, pricing, and marketing — your home can rise above the competition.
