New Rules for Our New Real Estate Market

By Misty Darling

Professional service with an emphasis on guidance, planning, and dedication to my clients’ needs are my top priority.

In 2024, the real estate market is loosening up. Towards the end of 2023, we saw a shift in the market where fewer homes were hitting our market, and activity was down overall. In this new environment, you can’t try to buy and sell based on old market logic. That’s why today, we’re going through how our market has changed, how you can navigate things, and what it all means for buyers and sellers.
