Redfin News writes, "It’s a buyer’s market—for those who can afford to buy. 

America had an estimated 36.7% more home sellers than buyers in September, meaning many of the buyers who were in the market had room to negotiate. June 2025 is the only month in records dating back to 2013 when sellers outnumbered buyers by a greater percentage, and it was only marginally greater—36.9%.
