Investor Takeaway

The cooling market may present buying opportunities with less competition and more negotiating leverage. High inventory relative to sales pace means buyers have options and sellers may be flexible on price. A significant share of sellers are cutting prices, which can signal motivated sellers and potential deals. Prices are 36% above the national median. Focus on rent-to-price ratios to ensure deals still cash flow.
