Inventory Breakthrough in Bryan County: Your 2025 Guide to Smart Pricing & Faster Moves

For the first time since 2022, U.S. new‑listing volume has smashed the 80‑thousand‑per‑week ceiling—and right here in Bryan County, active inventory just leapt 15 percent in a single month. If you plan to buy or sell real estate near Durant, understanding the new numbers could put thousands in your pocket.

1. The National “80K” Signal

Altos Research logged 80,338 new single‑family listings nationwide for the week ending May 9, 2025, up 17 percent year over year.NowBam
Why it matters:

• More choice = more leverage. Buyers can negotiate again; sellers must price accurately.

What these numbers mean for you:

• Pricing muscle is shifting. With more homes closing below list price; aspirational asking prices are aging out.

• Plan for 90–100 days. With 60 days to secure a contract plus 30–45 to close, realistic timelines protect your bottom line.

• Buyers gain breathing room. Extra inventory in Durant, Calera, and other communities offers space to negotiate repairs or rate‑buy‑downs.

Sellers—Price to Today, Not to 2021

A data‑driven list price anchored to current comps gets you sold faster and often for more net cash than testing the ceiling and chasing reductions later.

Buyers—Secure Flexible Financing

Lock your mortgage rate for at least 60 days and budget closing‑cost credits or seller concessions into negotiations—a growing slice of sellers are offering them.
