Believe No One’s Buying Right Now? Let’s Clear That Up.

At Slater Realty Group, we talk to buyers and sellers every day. And one thing is clear: despite what you may be hearing in the headlines, homes are still selling and in big numbers. Yes, the market has shifted from the chaotic highs of a few years ago, but that doesn’t mean people have stopped moving.

In fact, the numbers tell a very different story.

The Market Isn’t Frozen — It’s Just Normal Again

If you’ve heard that home sales are slower than last year, you’re not wrong but it’s also not the whole picture. What we’re seeing today isn’t a collapse. It’s a reset to a more typical, balanced pace. That means fewer bidding wars and more thoughtful buying decisions. But don’t mistake “normal” for “quiet.” Buyers are still active. Homes are still moving.

Why Are Homes Still Selling?

Because life doesn’t stop. People are still getting married, expanding their families, changing jobs, downsizing, relocating and all of that creates movement in the market. Real estate is about real people with real needs, and that never slows down completely. Even in today’s mortgage environment, serious buyers are making moves. 

Let’s Look at the Numbers

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), we’re on pace to sell 4.03 million homes this year and that’s existing homes only.

Here’s what that looks like:

4.03 million homes ÷ 365 days = 11,041 homes sell per day

11,041 ÷ 24 = 460 homes sell per hour

460 ÷ 60 = about 8 homes sell every minute

Yes — every minute.

That means in the time you’ve spent reading this, another 8 homes just sold. The market is still moving and fast.

Selling in This Market Takes Strategy

Today’s buyers are more discerning, which means selling now requires a smart approach not just listing a home and hoping for the best. At Slater Realty Group, we do more than list properties. We create standout marketing, price strategically, and reach the right buyers through targeted campaigns. Our local expertise means we know how to position your home to shine even in a shifting market.

Bottom Line

The housing market hasn’t stopped — and neither have the people in it. Homes are selling, families are moving, and real estate decisions are being made every single day. If selling your home is part of your next chapter, Slater Realty Group is here to guide you through it. With the right strategy and expert support, your home can be next. Let’s make your move happen.
