Before we get to the bidding wars, let’s look back to over 8 months ago when we started the trend report, and my oh my has it been the journey. If you’ve been with us since the start, we’re glad to have had you this whole way! And if you’re new here, we’re glad to have you 
In the rollicking seller’s market we’ve had over the past couple of years, sellers have enjoyed watching homebuyers bend over backward to outdo one another, with ever-higher home prices, fewer (or no) contingencies, and other perks in an effort to entice sellers to pick their offer over all others.
But a subtle shift is afoot. Interest rates are rising, slashing buyers’ borrowing power. Plus, the Realtor.com® June Housing Report shows an uptick in the number of homes for sale.
“The biggest positive for buyers is that they’re seeing more homes on the market now,” says Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale. “This means more options for them to consider in their home search.”
While the market still has a long way to go before it tilts definitively in buyers’ favor, sellers today can no longer kick back and just presume a bidding war will roll in.
“As the market is transitioning, buyer psychology is also transitioning,” says Lauren Schaffer of Triplemint in New York. “Bidding war fatigue coupled with a softening market has created a newfound sentiment that buyers don’t need to engage in a bidding war in order to secure a home.”
However, home seller psychology has yet to catch up to this new reality, putting many at risk of making a variety of mistakes that could squash their odds of receiving multiple offers—or of coming out ahead if they do. Here are some missteps sellers will want to avoid in today’s changing market.

Mortgage rates have been all over the map recently, both in terms of their movement and in their variation between lenders. The disconnects are so big as to require a deeper explanation.
Let’s quantify “big.” Best-case-scenario rates for a conventional 30yr fixed are down about half a point from last week on average and more than a full point below the mid-June highs.
This is an exceptionally fast drop! In fact, it’s a bit faster than the drop seen in the 10yr Treasury yield, a frequently used benchmark for mortgage rates.

Private Jet vs. The Environment With the news that Taylor Swift allegedly produces more carbon emissions than any other celebrity in 2022, amassing to roughly 8,200 tonnes (more on that above). This is mostly due to the unnecessary plane rides Swift takes in her private jet. After the information surfaced in an op-ed article, Swift was labeled as a hypocrite given her “climate change awareness” public persona.
The discovery led to memes, similar in nature to memetic discourse regarding Kyle Jenner’s Three-Minute Flights.
In short, the meme-lords have waged war on the out of touch celebrity.
