Home Price Gaps Reach Widest Range in 5 Years as Market Tips Towards Buyers

Home sellers are stuck in the past—and buyers aren’t having it. In today’s episode, we break down the growing gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are actually paying, with the typical home now listed 9% higher than its final sale price. We’ll explain why the disconnect is widening, where the biggest gaps are happening, and what it means for negotiations in today’s market. Plus, we’ll cover the Trump administration’s new push to open up federal land for housing development—a move that could reshape inventory in key western states but faces major infrastructure and environmental hurdles.
