Thinking about buying a home in 2025? You might be wondering:
👉 “Is now a good time?”
👉 “Is it finally a buyer’s market?”
👉 “Can I get a good deal?”
Let’s talk.
The Data Is in Buyers’ Favor
In April 2025, Redfin reported 1.9 million active home sellers vs. just 1.45 million buyers—a 33.7% gap and the widest imbalance in over a decade.
🏘️ Condos in particular are overstocked (83.5% more sellers than buyers), and single-family homes also show signs of softening.
What’s Happening Locally?
In Brunswick, homes are lasting longer on the market and seller incentives are making a comeback.
In St. Simons Island, inventory is up, and over 75% of homes are selling below asking.
In other words… this is your window.
How Buyers Can Maximize This Market
✅ Negotiate more than just price – Think inspection credits, closing costs, even furniture.
✅ Shop strategically – Look for homes sitting longer than 30 days or with price reductions.
✅ Time is your ally – No more need to rush; take time to explore and compare.
✅ Understand value long term – It’s not just about the price—it’s about what the property will be worth in 5–10 years.
