August 2025 Real Estate Market Update – What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

by Hal Blake

As we transition from summer into fall, the real estate market in August 2025 reveals important trends that both buyers and sellers should pay attention to.

🏡 Key Highlights for August 2025:

  • Active Listings: 1,122 homes were available on the market.

  • New Listings: 335 new properties hit the market.

  • Homes Sold: 257 properties closed — a slight dip from the previous month.

  • Absorption Rate: 4.58 months — signaling a balanced market (neither favoring buyers nor sellers).

  • Sale-to-List Price Ratio: Sellers received an average of 97.3% of their original asking price.

  • Average Days on Market: Homes spent just under 60 days on the market on average.

  • Total Sales Volume: A robust $190.4 million in residential property sales.


📉 What's the Trend?

Compared to July 2025, we saw a slight decrease in the number of homes sold, indicating a potential seasonal cooling — common as summer activity begins to slow.

However, with strong list-to-sale ratios and continued buyer interest, the market remains healthy and active. Sellers are still achieving top dollar — when their home is priced correctly and marketed strategically.


🎯 What This Means for Sellers:

If you're considering selling, now is the time to act while buyer demand remains strong. With fewer listings coming to market, your home has less competition — and with our proprietary Guaranteed Sale Program, we can even guarantee you’ll sell for 100% of fair market value, or we’ll pay the difference.


🛒 What This Means for Buyers:

For buyers, market conditions offer greater negotiating opportunities than earlier in the year. However, well-priced homes are still moving fast. That’s why enrolling in our VIP Buyer Program ensures you get:

  • Access to off-market homes,

  • Guaranteed cash savings,

  • And our Buyer Satisfaction Guarantee.


🔍 Final Thoughts:

Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or invest, understanding the market is key to making smart moves. Our team is here to guide you with proven systems, guarantees, and results that average agents simply don’t offer.
