In mid-2025, price reductions are becoming more common—even in previously fast-moving markets like Tyler. National data shows over 38% of active listings saw a price drop in Q2, up from just 21% in the same period last year. In East Texas, that trend tracks closely.
For sellers, this shift doesn’t always signal weakness—it signals a change in buyer behavior and market saturation. Our team at Cintra Realty responds with targeted pricing strategies that protect listing value while drawing qualified buyers.
What’s Causing More Reductions?
Several factors are contributing to the surge in price cuts:
More inventory on the market: Buyers have more choices and time to negotiate.
Higher mortgage rates: Monthly affordability has changed, even for well-qualified buyers.
Longer days on market: Homes in some Tyler zip codes now take 30–45 days to move, up from 12–18 days last year.
Zillow and Realtor.com data show that even desirable homes are sitting longer unless priced and positioned carefully.
