If I had a goal to buy a home before the end of the year, and I was pre-approved with a lender and all the financials lined up well within my comfortability zone...now would be a great time to go shopping.  Buyers in the market right now can definitely squeeze some extra juice.  Sellers are losing their advantage.  With that said, week over week inventory numbers are showing a plateau as active homes on the market slow down.  We still aren't back to what is widely considered normal inventory levels.
 

We haven't surpassed the most recent inventory highs from the same quarter in 2022, and the market is still 1000+ listings away from the more normal market we saw in 2018-2019.

What else do you notice?

This is the time of year when active listings clearly start decreasing.  Home inventory starts seeing a dip, and the shopping options along with the opportunity to squeeze more juice becomes less.
