Googling “homes for sale” is rising

Buyer demand is rising.

According to Redfin, Google searches for “homes for sale” are up 10% year over year, reaching their highest level since July. 

‍Mortgage rates have also dropped to their lowest levels since mid-December, leading to a 7% increase in mortgage applications.

At the same time, the market is moving in two directions. ‍

Some homes are selling before they even hit the MLS, while others are sitting for months. 

The difference often comes down to pricing, presentation, and strategy.

There’s no perfect formula for timing the market, but trends like these can help give a clearer picture. 

Right now, buyer interest is strong, and mortgage activity is picking up. 

What happens next will depend on how rates move in the coming weeks.
