The agents who win in this market are not the ones who know the most statistics.
They’re the ones who know how to translate the market into conversations.
Because data doesn’t create deals.
Conversations do.
And right now, the market is creating a huge opportunity with buyers.
Two years ago buyers were fighting through multiple offers and impossible competition.
Now?
Buyers have something they didn’t have before:
• More options
• More negotiating power
• More time to decide
And here’s the opportunity most agents are missing…
Those buyers who stopped responding last year didn’t disappear.
They paused.
They paused because the market felt impossible.
But now the conversation has changed.
The 3 Buyers Hiding in Your CRM
Look for people who:
1️⃣ Paused because the market felt too competitive
They said things like:
- “We keep losing homes.”
- “Everything has multiple offers.”
- “We’ll wait until things calm down.”
Well… things have changed.
2️⃣ Buyers who disappeared when rates increased
Many assumed the numbers wouldn’t work.
But today we’re seeing:
- concessions
- rate buy-downs
- negotiation
They may just need updated numbers.
3️⃣ Renters who planned to buy but never did
Think about people who told you a year or two ago:
"We want to buy soon."
Those conversations are incredibly easy to restart.
The Simple Message That Restarts Buyer Conversations
You don’t need a long explanation.
You just need a conversation starter.
Try this:
Message #1 – The Opportunity Message
"Hey [Name], quick question. Have you seen how much inventory has increased recently? Buyers actually have more options and negotiating power right now than they did last year. Would it be crazy to take another look at what’s available?"
Or this:
Message #2 – Negotiation Advantage
"Hey [Name], something interesting is happening right now. Homes are selling at about 97% of asking price, which means buyers are negotiating again. Would you want me to send you a few homes where sellers might be flexible?"
Or my personal favorite:
Message #3 – The Timeline Question
"Hey [Name], random question. If the right home came on the market and the numbers made sense… would you still consider moving this year, or has your timeline changed?"
No pressure.
No pitch.
Just a conversation.
