Home prices and days on market held steady this week, while months of inventory continued to tighten. The market still leans toward buyers, but that edge is narrowing as supply shrinks.

Tip of the Week
Don’t overlook the small repairs before listing.

Minor issues like leaky faucets, loose fixtures, worn caulking, or damaged trim can make buyers wonder what else may have been neglected. A little preparation before going on the market can help your home show better, reduce buyer concerns, and potentially prevent larger repair requests during negotiations.
