Julia Carpenter: 我观察到房地产市场正经历着显著的变化，这是自2013年以来前所未有的。现在市场上卖家多于买家，这使得买家在谈判中占据更有利的地位。长期以来，购房者一直面临着高房价和低库存的挑战，但现在情况似乎正在转变，这为他们带来了新的机遇。
Nicole Friedman: 市场确实在发生变化。过去几年，我们一直处于卖方市场，房屋供应不足。但现在，房屋库存正在增加，部分原因是新建房屋的增多。许多卖家因为生活中的各种原因，比如家庭扩大、结婚、离婚或工作调动，不得不出售房产。然而，高房价和抵押贷款利率使得许多买家难以负担。因此，市场上待售房屋与买家购买力之间存在着差距，导致房屋在市场上停留的时间更长，库存不断增加。目前，市场正从卖方市场向平衡或买方市场转变，但这在很大程度上取决于你所在的地区。例如，东南和西南地区是买方市场，而东北和中西部地区仍然竞争激烈。对于千禧一代和其他首次购房者来说，现在进入市场可能更容易，因为他们有更多的时间来做决定和谈判。当然，现在买房仍然很贵，只有那些有经济实力的买家才能真正从中受益。至于未来的房价走势，经济学家的预测各不相同，但供需关系的基本原理表明，当卖家多于买家时，价格应该会下降。市场需要找到一个新的平衡点，而今年夏季和秋季将是确定这一新常态的关键时期。
