More homes are sitting on the market, and price drops are becoming more common.💡 For Sellers: Homes are still moving, but pricing is everything. The best-looking, best-priced homes are attracting offers, while overpriced listings are sitting.So, is now a good time to buy or sell? The answer depends on your situation — but one thing is clear: Birmingham is shifting into a more balanced market.If you’re thinking about making a move this summer, let’s talk about a strategy that works in today’s landscape.👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Birmingham market updates.#KWhomewood #BirminghamRealEstate #MarketUpdate
