What This Means for Buyers

The market is tilting in favor of buyers this July. Here’s why:

• 🎯 More Choices, More Power: With inventory up 11% since April, buyers have more homes to choose from, boosting negotiating leverage. However, with homes going pending in about 27 days, you’ll still need to act decisively.

• 📉 Lower Rates, Smarter Financing: The dip in mortgage rates to 6.67% makes now an excellent time to lock in a loan or explore options like rate buydowns or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) for added savings.

• ✅ Pre-Approval is Key: In this active market, a pre-approval letter signals to sellers that you’re a serious buyer, giving you a competitive edge.

Pro Tip: Work with a lender to explore financing strategies that align with your budget and long-term goals.

What This Means for Sellers

Sellers face a more competitive landscape but can still thrive with the right approach:

• 🏠 Stand Out in a Growing Market: With inventory rising, pricing your home competitively and investing in professional staging can make your property shine.

• 💡 Sweeten the Deal: Offering incentives like rate buydowns or covering closing costs can attract more buyers and speed up offers.

• ⏰ Speed Still Sells: Well-prepared homes are closing in under a month, so ensure your property is move-in ready to capitalize on buyer demand.

Pro Tip: Partner with a real estate agent who can craft a tailored marketing plan to highlight your home’s unique features.

Looking Ahead: August 2025 Predictions

Looking ahead, we expect stable market trends in Solano County. Median home prices should hover in the high-$580,000s, with mortgage rates likely staying in the 6.6–6.9% range. If rates dip further, buyer activity could heat up, making financing knowledge a critical advantage for both buyers and sellers.
