If you’ve been tuning into the news or scrolling through your feed, you’ve probably seen headlines saying home sales are down. It’s enough to make any homeowner wonder—“Should I even bother selling right now?”

Here’s the truth:

Yes, the market has cooled from the wild ride we saw during the pandemic years. But that doesn’t mean it’s frozen. In fact, what we’re seeing now is a more balanced, more predictable market—aka, a return to normal. And in a normal market, guess what? Homes are still selling every single day.

Life Doesn’t Hit Pause for Mortgage Rates

People don’t stop moving just because the market isn’t on fire. Life keeps happening—new jobs, growing families, fresh starts—and those changes often come with the need for a new home.

Buyers are still out there, and many of them are motivated. They’re not waiting for the “perfect” moment—they’re looking for the right house. Maybe it’s yours.

Homes Are Still Selling—Fast

Let’s do the math with real numbers from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). At the current pace, about 4.03 million homes are expected to sell this year (excluding new builds). That breaks down to:

• 11,041 homes per day
• 460 homes every hour
• About 8 homes every minute

Yes—eight homes are selling every single minute. While you’re reading this, eight more deals are closing across the country. So no, the market hasn’t come to a standstill. Far from it.

A Smart Sale Starts with the Right Strategy

Here’s the thing: because the market has leveled out, selling today takes more than just listing and hoping for the best. You need a game plan.

That’s where a skilled local agent makes all the difference. From helping you price your home strategically, to crafting a standout marketing plan, to reaching serious buyers, they’ll guide you through every step with confidence.

Bottom Line: People Are Still Moving—And You Can Too

Selling your home in today’s market is absolutely possible—especially when you understand what’s really happening and partner with someone who knows how to navigate it.

With over 11,000 homes selling each day, yours could be next.
