Even with a 30-year fixed mortgage rate hovering near 7%, we\u2019re seeing more listings on the market, pushing supply to 4.9 months. That\u2019s giving buyers a wider range of choices and, according to economists, opening up better opportunities for negotiation. The median price for an existing home reached $429,100, a new mid-Q3 record, with higher-priced homes still leading the activity. First-time buyers accounted for 30% of purchases and 27% of sales were cash deals, while homes typically spent 31 days on the market. Here in the Bay Area, I see firsthand how patient guidance and a thoughtful approach\u2014especially for first-time buyers\u2014can make all the difference in navigating these shifts.
