🏡 What This Means for Homebuyers

With inventory levels rising, buyers have more leverage than we've seen in years. If you've been frustrated by bidding wars or limited selection, this spring could offer new opportunities. Be prepared to act fast on well-priced properties, especially in high-demand neighborhoods like Woodforest, Grand Central Park, and The Woodlands Hills.

✅ Tip: Consider getting pre-approved now and working with a local real estate agent who understands how to negotiate in a shifting market.

💼 What Sellers Should Know

If you're thinking of listing your home, timing and pricing are more critical than ever. The days of multiple over-asking offers may be behind us—for now—but serious buyers are still out there. Homes that are priced right and marketed effectively (with high-quality photos, video tours, and digital exposure) are still selling.
