For buyers
Buyers should compare active listings against recent sales before assuming there is or is not room to negotiate. Inventory, list-price strategy, and days on market matter more than the headline average price.
For sellers
Sellers should price against the most relevant current competition, not only older comparable sales. If inventory is building, presentation and launch strategy become more important. If inventory is tightening, well-positioned homes may regain leverage.
