Real Talk: What Today’s Real Estate Market Means for Buyers & Sellers
Welcome Home Realty Group | Triangle Area Experts
The market isn’t what it was in 2021—and that’s not a bad thing.
While interest rates and national headlines may be creating hesitation, the truth is: real estate is still happening, and smart moves are still being made. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or both, here’s what you need to know about navigating today’s market.
⸻
💡 For Buyers: It’s Not All About the Rate
Yes, interest rates are higher than a couple of years ago—but they’re still historically moderate. And unlike during the pandemic frenzy, buyers today have more breathing room to:
• Make thoughtful offers
• Negotiate repairs and concessions
• Avoid overpaying in bidding wars
Plus, many sellers are offering rate buy-downs or closing cost assistance to help offset today’s rates.
Pro tip: Marry the home, date the rate. You can refinance later if/when rates drop—but the right home at the right price might not wait.
⸻
💡 For Sellers: Pricing & Presentation Matter More Than Ever
Homes are still selling—but only if they’re priced right and presented well. Buyers have higher expectations, and a stale listing can turn into a missed opportunity.
If your home is clean, staged, and marketed strategically (hello, professional photography + local know-how!), you’re still in a great position to sell—especially here in the Triangle, where demand remains strong.
The Triangle is not slowing down—it’s just normalizing. And that means smart, strategic real estate is back in style.
⸻
So… What Should You Do?
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about your options, we’re here to help you cut through the noise, run the numbers, and make confident decisions.
