Zillow Group Inc. has published its latest market analysis, revealing that lower mortgage rates and a strong stock market in September have energized the typically slow fall real estate season. The report highlights that both buyers and sellers remained unusually active after a sluggish August, with new listings from sellers up 3% year-over-year, reversing a previous decline. Buyers now have 14% more homes to choose from compared to last year, and the number of buyers markets has more than doubled, rising from six to fifteen. Zillow notes that fall may be an advantageous time for buyers, with less competition and more inventory available, while sellers in buyers or neutral markets should be prepared to offer concessions on price and closing costs to attract purchasers.
