Selling a Home in Homewood in 2025? Here's What to Know This July

Selling Your Home in Homewood? Read This First

Neutral-toned living room with abstract art, a curved coffee table, white sofas, cushions, and books, creating a calm and inviting setting.

If you’ve been watching the headlines or talking to friends, you might be wondering:

“Did we miss the market?”“
Is it even a good time to sell in Homewood this summer?”

Here’s the honest answer: the market hasn’t stopped—it’s just shifted. And if you know how to move with it, July can still be an exceptional time to sell your Homewood home.


Let’s break it down.


📉 Yes, the Frenzy Has Cooled

In spring, buyers were rushing to beat rising rates and low inventory. Homes moved fast.


But now?

  • Days on Market have crept up to 27 days on average

  • Months of Inventory have grown to 2.2 months (still technically a seller’s market, but softening)

  • Luxury price points ($800K–$1M+) are sitting longer, with some homes on the market over 200 days


But this isn’t a crash. It’s a normal seasonal adjustment—paired with buyer fatigue and more options.


🧠 So What Does This Mean If You’re Selling?

It means strategy matters more than ever. Overpriced homes in Homewood are sitting. Homes that skip staging, marketing, or pricing prep? They’re being ignored in favor of better-presented competitors.


And yet…


Homes that are priced and positioned correctly are still:


✅ Selling in under 10 days

✅ At or above asking

✅ Closing strong (Homewood's average list-to-sale ratio is still 103%)


📍 Real Story: Two Homes. Same Street. Very Different Outcomes.


In early June, I watched two listings launch within days of each other just off Broadway. One was priced right, staged lightly, and had a clean marketing rollout. The other? Listed based on spring pricing with dark, unedited phone photos.


The first home? Under contract in 4 days—above ask. The second? Still active today. Quiet inbox. Price drop pending.


🧭 The Big Bear Strategy: Calm, Clear, Proven


If you’re thinking about selling this summer, you don’t need guesswork. You need a smart, steady plan.


Here’s how we do it:

  1. Accurate Pricing (based on this market—not April’s)

  2. Pre-list Prep Walkthrough – what to fix, clean, or leave alone

  3. 3-Phase Marketing Launch – off-market VIP previews, agent buzz, then public exposure

  4. Negotiation That Leverages Buyer Hesitation – because yes, it can be used to your advantage
