Nationally, home sales and contract signings continue to soften compared to last year’s pace, while sellers are working quickly to list their homes and cash in on the remaining buyer demand. Realtor.com reports new listings are growing nearly twice as fast nationwide in May compared to this time a year ago, leading to a greater availability of homes for sale. As inventory inches upward and competition eases, sellers are having to adjust to the shifting landscape, with an increase in price reductions reported across many markets.
