Moving after many years in the same home can feel like a big step. While the market may have evolved, the fundamentals of a successful move remain the same and with the right guidance, it can feel far more straightforward than you might expect.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.

It’s one of the most common questions we’re hearing right now — “Should I sell now, or wait?” With more homes coming to market this spring than we’ve seen in years, it’s understandable to pause and consider your timing. But the reality is, waiting doesn’t always mean a better result. In fact, for many sellers, acting now could be the smarter move.

For many sellers, the idea of reducing the price can feel like a step backwards. But in today’s market, it’s often the opposite, it can be the move that gets your sale back on track.
