Buyer's Market
Inventory edged up to 6.4 months from 6.3. A slower flow of new listings and a busier week of closings kept supply from building faster, though buyers still hold negotiating leverage.

Average pricing softened slightly and homes are taking a little longer to sell, a sign buyers are being selective on price. Months of inventory edged up again, keeping Bay City firmly buyer-friendly.

Tip of the Week
Check how long a home has been on the market.

With homes taking a little longer to sell, days on market is useful information. Ask your agent how long a listing has been active and whether the price has changed. A home that has sat for a while may leave more room to negotiate on price, repairs, or closing costs, so a well-supported offer can be a strong place to start.
