If you’ve been watching the market and wondering whether now is the right time to sell, you’re not alone. We’ve all seen the headlines—“sales are slowing,” “rates are high,” “inventory is tight.” But here’s the truth most headlines don’t tell you: homes are still selling. Every minute. Every day.
In fact, according to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), we’re on pace to see 4.03 million home sales this year. That’s 11,041 homes every single day—or 8 homes every minute. While the frenzied pace of 2021 may have cooled, real estate is far from frozen.
Why Are Homes Still Selling?
Because life doesn’t wait. People are still getting married, expanding their families, relocating for work, or simply ready for a new chapter. These life changes don’t pause for mortgage rates—they create consistent demand in the market. And in markets like Memphis, where lifestyle, cost of living, and opportunity intersect, serious buyers are still showing up.
What This Means for Sellers
Yes, the market has shifted. But that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it gives you more power to enter the market strategically. With fewer bidding wars and more thoughtful buyers, it’s the perfect time to position your home with purpose.
That means:
-
Pricing your home competitively—not low, but right
-
Using a targeted marketing strategy to reach the right buyers
-
Showcasing your property’s story and standout features
And it means working with a real estate advisor who understands this moment, this market, and how to navigate it to your advantage.
The Bottom Line
Roughly 11,000 homes sell every day—and yours could be one of them. Buyers are still buying. Life is still happening. Don’t let headlines hold you back from your next move.
