Why Homes That Sit Longer Can Mean Big Savings for Today’s Buyers

If you’ve been watching the housing market lately, you may have noticed a little shift — and trust me, it’s one worth paying attention to! As a Minnesota realtor who’s all about helping you make wise, confident, and peace-filled decisions, I’m here to break down a simple truth:

The longer a home sits on the market, the less it typically sells for.

Yep… days on market matter big time. And the latest data from the National Association of Realtors backs it up.

Why This Matters for Today’s Buyers

Right now, the pace of the market has slowed just enough to give buyers some breathing room — and that’s a blessing in itself. 🙌 There are more homes lingering on the market this year, and for buyers, that’s where the opportunity lies.

Think of it this way:

When a home has been sitting a bit longer than others…✨ Sellers tend to be more flexible✨ Buyers often have stronger negotiating power✨ And in many cases, you could save thousands

KCM recently broke down the math on this (and yes, the numbers are pretty eye-opening!). Homes with more days on market often see price reductions or seller concessions — things we haven’t seen much of in the past few years.

How to Make This Work for You

If you’re hoping to score a deal — or at least stretch your dollars a little further — here’s a simple strategy:

👉 Look at listings that have been on the market longer than average.

Not the brand-new “just went live” homes… I’m talking about the ones that have been waiting a bit. Those often come with motivated sellers and room to get creative.

And here’s the best part: you don’t have to tackle this alone!I’m here to guide you through everything — analyzing days on market, spotting opportunities, negotiating on your behalf, and helping you step into a home that truly fits your family, lifestyle, and future.

A Market Filled With Possibility

This season is full of opportunity for buyers who are willing to look at the full picture. Slower pace means more options… and more options mean a better chance of finding a home where you feel at ease, blessed, and right where you’re meant to be.
