If you're thinking about selling your home, you've probably heard the term "months of supply" thrown around. But what does it actually mean?
Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell all available homes at the current sales pace. It's one of the clearest indicators of whether we're in a buyer's or seller's market.
Here's the breakdown:
- Less than 5 months = Seller's market (low inventory, more competition among buyers)
- 5-6 months = Balanced market
- More than 6 months = Buyer's market (more inventory, buyers have negotiating power)
Right now, inventory levels are rising in many markets across the country. According to recent NAR data, we're seeing a shift from the extreme seller's market of the past few years. This means pricing strategy, home preparation, and timing matter more than ever.
If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" to list, understanding these metrics can help you make a more informed decision about your specific situation and local market conditions.

Not every pre-listing fix needs to be big or expensive. But there are a few small repairs sellers shouldn’t ignore because buyers notice them immediately.
Here are some of the most common ones:
1. Leaky faucets or running toilets
Small issues like these can make buyers wonder what else hasn’t been maintained.
2. Loose handles, hinges, or cabinet hardware
They’re inexpensive to fix, but they affect how cared-for a home feels.
3. Scuffed paint and wall damage
Patches, touch-ups, and fresh paint in key areas can make the whole home feel cleaner and more current.
4. Burned-out light bulbs or outdated fixtures
Lighting has a huge impact on first impressions, especially in photos and showings.
5. Doors that stick, squeak, or don’t close properly
These are small annoyances that can make a home feel older or neglected.
None of these repairs will transform a home on their own. But together, they can reduce buyer hesitation and help your home feel better maintained from the start.
If you’re getting ready to sell, the best pre-listing strategy usually starts with the simple things first.

Is the all-white kitchen dead? According to design professionals, yes — and what's replacing it isn't one single look, but the absence of a default.
Buyers want personalization. A kitchen that feels considered, not one that played it safe. Warm neutrals, earth tones, and wood-grain cabinetry are taking over from painted finishes. The transitional style has become the most popular direction, while the farmhouse aesthetic continues to lose ground.
What makes a kitchen stand out now? A work-in pantry, an unexpected cabinet color, a stone backsplash that runs floor to ceiling. These are the details that signal intention — and that's exactly what buyers are responding to in 2026.
