Yet, even with more options on the market, pending home sales dipped 1.1%\u2014a six-month low\u2014as many buyers hesitated due to persistently high costs. The median sale price now sits above $400K, up 1.9% from last year, and the average mortgage rate is holding near 7%, the highest in over a year. For buyers, this combination of rising inventory and softer demand means more opportunities to negotiate\u2014especially on properties that have been listed for several weeks. As a broker serving both Georgia and Alabama, I guide my clients to approach these negotiations with both realism and strategy, focusing on value rather than chasing last year&#039;s prices.
