Here’s the thing: sure, the pace of the market has cooled compared to the frenzy we saw just a few years ago, but that’s not a red flag. It’s a return to normal. And normal doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. Buyers are still out there – and homes are still selling.
Why Are Buyers Still Making Moves?
Because real life doesn’t pause for perfect conditions.
There are always people who need to buy – and this year is no exception.
Buyers who are in the middle of a big life change – a new marriage, a growing family, a job relocation – still need to move, regardless of where mortgage rates stand. And many of them are looking for a home just like yours.
Every Minute, 8 Homes Sell
Let’s break it down using the latest sales data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Based on the current pace, the U.S. is on track to sell 4.03 million homes this year (not including new construction).
Here’s what that looks like:
-
4.03 million homes ÷ 365 days = 11,041 homes sold per day
-
11,041 homes ÷ 24 hours = 460 homes sold per hour
-
460 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sold every minute
That means in the time it takes you to read this post, another 8 homes just sold. Let that sink in.
The Right Agent Makes All the Difference
If you’ve been holding off on selling your house because you think buyers aren’t out there, let this reassure you – there are still buyers actively searching.
But in today’s more balanced market, selling takes more than just listing a home. You need the right pricing, compelling marketing, strong presentation, and a solid strategy. And that’s where a trusted, local real estate expert comes in.
Bottom Line
Yes, buyers are still buying. Roughly 11,000 homes sell every single day. Yours could be next.
If your next move is calling, don’t wait for the “perfect” moment—because the right moment might already be here.
