🏡 Nicoletta’s Daily Market Pulse

Is real estate fraud on the rise?

What’s Happening Nationally:
Americans lost over $12.5 billion to fraud last year. Real estate wire fraud alone accounted for roughly $500 million, with median losses over $70,000 per transaction.

Mortgage fraud risk is rising — and fake property owner scams are increasing.

Verification is everything. Never wire funds without confirming instructions directly.

Today’s Question:
Are we shifting toward a buyer’s market?

What’s Happening Nationally:
There are now 47% more sellers than buyers nationwide — the widest gap in over a decade. Some cities, like Austin, are seeing inventory outweigh buyers by more than 100%.

More homeowners now carry mortgage rates above 6% than those locked in under 3% — a major shift from the pandemic market dynamic.

Inventory is sitting around 1.2 million homes. That’s higher than the historic lows we saw, but still below pre-2020 norms.

What This Means:
Momentum is shifting. We’re seeing rebalancing — not a crash. Opportunity is emerging, but strategy matters more than ever.

Real estate is hyper-local. National headlines don’t automatically define our market.

Clarity creates confidence.
If you’d like to understand what this means for you locally, let’s talk.
