Last week, we introduced the Unhappy Sellers Club, homeowners who came to market with bold expectations… and found a much different reality.
This week, we’re exploring what happens next, especially for buyers.
Because when sellers start to lose leverage, the real opportunity shifts.
So What Are Today’s Sellers Actually Thinking?
Some are stunned. Some are stalled. But almost all are adjusting.
We're hearing things like:
“We thought we’d sell in a weekend.”
“We priced it based on last year’s comps.”
“We’re not desperate… but we do need to move.”
This shift in psychology is what’s opening up options for buyers, smart, observant buyers who’ve been paying attention.
Why This Matters for You
We’re seeing more price reductions.
Homes are sitting longer.
And sellers are quietly becoming more flexible.
That doesn’t mean buyers can, or should, lowball.
But it does mean this market is finally giving you space to negotiate, breathe, and find your next home without the bidding war chaos.
