JAS SLRE Open House Facebook Event Cover (2)

September’s Talbot County real estate snapshot tells a story that both sellers and buyers need to hear:

 🏠 Original Median List Price: $592,450
 🔻 Median Sold Price: $525,000
 📉 Price Gap: $67,450 (≈ 11.4%)

 That’s not just a statistic — it’s a strategy moment.

🔴 Sellers: The Market Is Correcting Overpricing

If your home hits the market too high, here’s what often happens:
 - Fewer showings
 - More days on market
 - Price reductions
 - Weaker offers

 This gap is a sign that buyers are pushing back, and that homes aren’t selling unless priced to meet the moment.

 💡 Homes that are priced right from Day 1 are still moving quickly and cleanly. Don’t chase the market down — meet it with strategy.

🟢 Buyers: There’s Leverage — But You Still Need a Plan

An 11.4% gap between asking and closing? That means negotiation power is real — but only if you're ready.

 - Properties with longer DOM (Days on Market) are vulnerable to realistic offers
 - Mortgage rates are slightly better — which helps with monthly affordability
 - But well-priced, move-in ready homes? They're still competitive

 💡 If you’re serious about buying, this is the time to be strategic — not scared.
