It’s interesting to see how consumer confidence in the US has shifted this mid-Q3. While folks feel a bit better about their present situation (the present-conditions index climbed around 7 points to 121), the outlook for income, business, and jobs over the coming months has dimmed—with the expectations gauge dropping about 6 points to 68, a level that’s often linked with recession concerns. Early in the quarter, we saw employers cut 23,000 jobs and unemployment tick up to nearly 4%, mostly because more people stepped away from the labor force—not due to a hiring surge. Despite this dip in optimism, expectations around buying a home have only softened slightly, and demand is still on the rise. Roughly 61% of people still expect interest rates to head higher. With federal policymakers keeping rates steady and little relief expected soon, it looks like borrowing costs will stay up as we head toward year-end. As someone who’s guided clients through all kinds of markets across Greater Boca Raton and Delray Beach, I know how these shifts can feel daunting. My focus remains on keeping clients fully informed, so you can make confident decisions—no matter what the headlines say.

Great opportunity to renovate and make this home a palace.

We’re seeing a noticeable shift in the real estate landscape: over the four weeks ending August 23, new US listings increased by 0.4% week-over-week, and total homes for sale also rose by 0.5%, marking the highest inventory since early Q2. Yet, even with more homes available, pending US home sales dipped 1.1% week-over-week to a six-month low—high housing costs are still keeping many buyers on the sidelines, despite the national improvement in inventory. The median US home-sale price climbed 1.9% year-over-year, topping $400,000, while average mortgage rates hovered near 7%, approaching a 13-month high.

For my clients in Greater Boca Raton and Delray Beach, this type of market brings opportunity—rising inventory and softer demand mean active buyers can often negotiate on price or request concessions, especially on properties that have been listed for several weeks. Sellers who align their pricing with today’s realities, instead of chasing last year’s numbers, are seeing the most success. My focus is always on keeping you fully informed and ensuring your decisions are based on the latest data and market dynamics. As always, client satisfaction remains my top priority throughout every step of your buying or selling journey.
