August 2025 Market Stats

Sales Jumped When Everyone Expected a Slowdown

Everyone has been watching Days on Market rise and supply build to a nine-year high, expecting sales to stall. Sellers have worried that buyers were pulling back.

But instead, sales actually jumped 9% — the strongest pace in three years — fueled by optimism that lower interest rates may be on the horizon. Even prices, which had been flat for two months, edged up 4% year-over-year.

Pending sales in August were only slightly higher, but there’s a noticeable sense of buyer energy in the market right NOW.
