Last month, I shared a handful of homes that, “should have sold by now.” This month, I’ve found another round of properties that, if we were looking back just a few years, would likely have been snapped up in a heartbeat.
It’s important to note that by definition, we’re still in a seller’s market. Inventory remains low, and we’re not near the levels that would signal a true buyer’s market. And if we rewind to pre-pandemic times, it was normal for a home to be on the market for a few weeks. Sellers didn’t worry if their listing didn’t disappear in three days.
But after the last four years of intense frenzied demand, we’ve gotten used to a new pace where anything less than lightning-fast feels unusual. So when I say these homes “should have sold by now,” it’s only in the context of that recent precedent.
The properties I’m highlighting below are well-prepared, appealing listings. Today, they’re still available, giving buyers a rare window of opportunity.

In today’s real estate market, I’ve noticed some great listings that, in another season, would have sparked bidding wars and disappeared in a weekend. They’ve got all the essentials buyers appreciate, location, charm, thoughtful updates, and value; but here we are in a more balanced moment, where buyers have a little more breathing room and sellers have to wait just a touch longer for the right match. The silver lining? It creates an opportunity for buyers to score homes that should have been gone by now.
This week, I’m highlighting a few of these standout homes. They’ve been nicely maintained and smartly prepared for the market. For anyone who’s been waiting for unique buyer opportunities, these listings could deserve a look.
