June 2025 Market Update: A Balanced Market with Smart Opportunity

Summer’s in full swing, and just like the weather, the housing market has its own seasonal rhythm. National headlines may be buzzing about a cooldown—but Hampton Roads isn’t following that script. If you're wondering what it all means for your next move, the latest numbers offer a clear picture.

Here’s how the June 2025 data breaks down—and what it means for buyers, sellers, and homeowners who are keeping an eye on the market.

🔑 What This Means for Buyers

Inventory pulled back a bit this month, and homes are taking a few days longer to sell—but this isn’t a buyer’s market yet. Instead, we’re seeing a bit more breathing room, especially compared to last year’s summer rush.

If you're buying:

✅ Focus on homes that have been on the market longer or recently reduced
✅ Use the slower pace to your advantage—without waiting too long
✅ Have your pre-approval ready—solid financing still makes a difference

It’s a smart time to move if you’re strategic, especially with sellers becoming more flexible on listings that linger.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

While we’re not in the red-hot, multiple-offer madness of the past, the market still favors sellers—particularly those who lean into good preparation and smart pricing.

If you're listing this summer:

✅ Don’t assume the first offer will be your best—but don’t delay either
✅ Highlight your home’s strengths through staging, photos, and thoughtful marketing
✅ Price based on today’s market—not yesterday’s headlines

Serious buyers are still out there, and they’re acting fast on homes that feel move-in ready and priced right.

💬 Erika’s Take

We’re in what I’d call a balanced market—neither wild nor weak. That means opportunity exists on both sides of the transaction if you approach it with clarity and confidence.

✨ Sellers who lead with strategy are still winning
✨ Buyers who stay ready can capitalize on slowed-down competition
✨ Homeowners watching their equity? Now’s a great time to check in on your value
