That\u2019s a notable jump from Mid-Q2, when the seller surplus hovered around 104%. Years of robust homebuilding across Texas have played a key role in this trend, especially as higher mortgage rates and record home prices have put the brakes on buyer demand. For those prepared with financing in hand, this opens up more room for negotiation\u2014on price, closing costs, and repairs\u2014since inventory is building faster than buyers are stepping in. Of course, for sellers in Houston and surrounding areas like Katy, Richmond, and Sugar Land, it means facing a more competitive landscape, where flexibility and a keen pricing strategy are more important than ever. As someone who\u2019s guided clients through shifting markets for over 15 years, I\u2019ve seen how local expertise and strong negotiation skills can make a real difference\u2014whether you\u2019re seizing new opportunities as a buyer, or navigating today\u2019s complexities as a seller.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Houston housing market is experiencing a significant shift\u2014sellers now outnumber buyers by 124% as of Late-Q2, making our metro one of the most pronounced buyer\u2019s markets in the country right now.
