If you’ve seen headlines saying home sales are down compared to last year, you might be wondering – is now still a good time to sell?

Here’s the good news. While the market has shifted from the fast-paced frenzy of recent years, that shift represents a healthy return to normalcy—not a downturn. And normal doesn’t mean stagnant. Buyers are still actively looking, and homes are selling every single day.

Why is that? Because life doesn’t wait for perfect market conditions. People continue to move for reasons like new jobs, growing families, or major life changes such as marriage or retirement. These real-life moments fuel consistent buyer demand—and many of those buyers may be looking for a home just like yours.

Every Minute, 8 Homes Sell

Let’s look at the latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Based on current trends, we’re on pace to see about 4.03 million existing home sales this year (excluding new builds).

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

11,041 homes ÷ 24 hours = 460 homes sell per hour

460 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sell every minute

That means by the time you finish reading this, another eight homes will have sold. Buyers are moving forward with their plans—and sellers are successfully closing deals.

The Right Agent Makes All the Difference If you’ve been hesitant to list your home because you think buyers aren’t engaging, this should give you confidence—buyers are very much out there.

That said, as the market balances out, selling today requires a thoughtful and strategic approach. Simply putting a sign in the yard won’t cut it. You need to price your home correctly, market it effectively, and connect with the right buyers at the right time. That’s where partnering with a knowledgeable local agent truly pays off.

A trusted real estate professional will help you navigate the current landscape, showcase your home’s best features, and guide you through every step of the process.

Bottom Line

The housing market is still active, and homes continue to sell—about 11,000 of them every single day. Life events don’t pause, and neither does the need for housing. If selling your home is part of your next chapter, there’s no reason to wait.

Your home could be the next one to sell. When you're ready to take the next step, connect with a trusted local agent to develop a tailored plan for success.
