### What this means for buyers

You have more choice than a year ago and room to negotiate, especially on homes that have been listed a few weeks. The best-priced homes still sell fast.

### What this means for sellers

Buyers are choosier. Pricing to the current market (not last spring's), strong photos and good prep matter more than they did a year ago.
