💡 What This Means for Sellers
If you're considering selling, now is your window. Buyer demand, particularly in the $700K–$1.5M range, is outpacing inventory. Homes priced and positioned correctly are moving quickly—especially those with updated interiors, strong curb appeal, and outdoor living spaces.
Luxury sellers should take note: April saw a clear uptick in interest and offer activity, especially in golf course and gated communities. With mortgage rate pressure easing and high-net-worth buyers returning for Q2 acquisitions, we're entering a competitive phase.
📈 What Buyers Need to Know
The days of lowball offers and endless negotiation are behind us—for now. If you're looking in the sub-$1M market, be prepared to move fast and present strong terms. Pre-approvals and clean contingencies matter more than ever.
Luxury buyers have more room to negotiate, but quality inventory is starting to thin out. Waiting for a “deal” could cost you more in the long run as appreciation resumes.
🔮 Expert Forecast: What’s Ahead for Q2 2025?
-
Expect continued price appreciation, particularly in move-in-ready homes
-
Inventory will likely remain tight, keeping upward pressure on prices
-
The luxury market is poised for more momentum through summer—especially pool homes and estates in gated enclaves
-
Increased investor interest is likely, as rental demand remains strong
