If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right moment… this is it.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, upgrading, or investing, there are smart strategies you can use right now—no matter your financial situation.



A buyer’s market means there are more homes for sale than there are active buyers. That gives buyers the upper hand in negotiations.

Here’s what that usually looks like:

• 🏷️ Prices stabilize or drop because sellers are competing for fewer buyers.
• 🕐 Homes stay on the market longer, which can give buyers more time to make decisions.
• 💰 Buyers can negotiate more—think price reductions, seller concessions, or inspection credits.
• 📉 There’s less pressure to waive contingencies (unlike in a seller’s market when everyone’s going in with all-cash, no-inspection offers).

In short: more inventory + less competition = opportunity for buyers to get better deals and terms. Check out this segment of my interview on the Mile High Market Podcast for actionable tips to take advantage of this shift!
