HERE'S YOUR WEEKLY LISTING REVIEW FOR

1327 N Howard St

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for meeting with me and Jose this morning. I'm excited and hopeful a great deal can be put together that works for everyone. As I mentioned, the other potential buyer that is looking at having this as an Air Bnb is wrapping up a HELOC and will need to finish that before being able to submit you a formal offer. I will keep you updated as I know more.

As we hit mid-April, the central question is whether national inventory will soon turn negative year-over-year. Inventory growth has plummeted from a 33% peak in 2025 to just 3.21% today. While Spokane is seeing a typical local spring increase, the national trend is slowing so rapidly that some markets already have fewer properties for sale than this time last year. This shift stems from a lower 2026 rate curve and improved mortgage spreads, which are keeping rates below 7% despite the ongoing conflict in Iran (now in its 43rd day). When rates approach the 6% "sweet spot," buyers stay active and inventory thins; without current global volatility, national growth would likely already be negative.

What this means for you? The predicted "inventory explosion" is not happening; the market is tightening instead. This gives us a strategic advantage as serious buyers face fewer options. We remain focused on positioning your property as the "value choice" to capture these motivated buyers before the summer transition.
