It’s officially October, and Halloween is just around the corner.
For those with their house on the market this month, there’s finally been a turn toward a more buyer-friendly market nationwide, though conditions vary widely by region. In the South and West, inventory is 4.3% and 9.3% higher than pre-pandemic, respectively, giving buyers more options. (In contrast, the Midwest and Northeast still trail pre-pandemic supply by 40% and 51.1%, respectively.)
