🏡 Think No One’s Buying Homes Right Now? Let’s Talk About That.

August 06, 2025•3 min read

Hi there, it’s Melinda! 😊

If you’ve been following the news lately, you might be hearing things like “home sales are down” or “no one’s buying in this market.” And hey, I get it—those headlines can make it feel like now isn’t the right time to sell. But let’s pause for a second and dig a little deeper, because the real story might surprise you.

Spoiler alert: buyers are still out there, and homes are absolutely selling—every single day.


Life Doesn’t Wait for Perfect Timing

It’s true that things have cooled off from the wild pace we saw a couple of years ago, but that doesn’t mean the housing market has stopped moving. In fact, what we’re seeing is more of a “return to normal,” and honestly, that’s a good thing. A healthy real estate market is steady, not frenzied.

People are still getting married, welcoming new family members, accepting job offers in new cities, or deciding it’s time to downsize. And with those life changes often comes the need to move—regardless of what the headlines say.

So if you’ve been holding off on selling because you're worried no one's buying… I promise you, that's not the case.


📈 Homes Are Still Selling—Every Single Minute

Let’s look at the numbers together.

According to the National Association of Realtors, we’re on pace to see about 4.03 million existing home sales in 2025 (and that doesn’t even count newly built homes). When you break that down…

  • That’s roughly 11,000 homes sold per day

  • About 460 homes sold every hour

  • And close to 8 homes sold each minute 🕐

Think about that—by the time you’ve read this far, several homes have already changed hands.

So yes, buyers are out there. The key is knowing how to find them—and how to make sure your home shines when they do.
