If you’ve been browsing listings lately, you’ve probably noticed it too: more price reductions popping up this spring.

In March 2025, a whopping 33.9% of homes for sale on Realtor.com had a price cut — the highest share in years.

So… should we panic?

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: We need more context.

Today’s buyers are cautious, strategic, and taking their time. But even during the peak of the 2021 housing boom, nearly 1 in 5 listings still saw a price cut (source: ResiClub).

A price reduction doesn’t always mean a home is in trouble. Sometimes it's a smart move to create buzz, test buyer demand, or leave room for negotiation. That said, not every cut is planned. Some are course corrections when the market doesn’t respond as expected.

Right now, with inventory growing, construction slowing, and buyers weighing every option carefully, pricing a home right the first time is more important than ever—and harder than it looks.

It’s a market that’s easy to misread—and one that takes experience and strategy to navigate successfully.

✨ P.S. Even if you’re in the very early stages of planning a move, I can walk you through what to expect—from timing to pricing to prep—so you’re not scrambling later.
