I'm a Real Estate Agent: It's Getting Harder To Sell Your Home in These 10 Cities

Sellers have held the upper hand in the U.S. housing market for so long that buyers might wonder when the dynamic will finally change in their favor. In fact, that might already be happening. The housing market has become more 'buyer-friendly' amid a rise in inventory in many parts of the country, according to a new report from That doesn't mean it's a buyer's market now — at least not yet. High mortgage rates are a headwind for buyers, and list prices remain historically expensive. Meanwhile, some markets continue to see stiff competition, which means available homes tend to go quickly. Be Aware: Learn More: A Clever Real Estate study of 2024 housing data found that nationwide, the median days on market for listed homes was 40 days. But that figure was much higher in some states — including Hawaii (80 days), Montana (78), Louisiana (69), South Carolina (68) and South Dakota (65). At the city level, some once-hot housing markets have started to cool considerably, causing sellers to slash prices to find enough buyers. GOBankingRates spoke with real estate experts about the current state of the housing market and which cities are seeing challenges when it comes to selling homes. Housing Trends Experts Are Seeing Ken Corsini, co-founder of Red Barn Homebuyers in Georgia, said he's seeing homes 'linger much longer' in Florida cities like Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville and West Palm Beach, as well as in Houston, Nashville, Austin (Texas) and Tucson (Arizona). 'These markets are cooling off fast because sellers are clinging to yesterday's prices, but buyers have the upper hand thanks to high rates and growing inventory,' Corsini told GOBankingRates. 'In places like Miami, sellers are even pulling their listings instead of negotiating, which shows how out of sync expectations have become.' This dynamic has spread to smaller towns as well, according to Matt Taschner, CEO of Sota Home Buyers, a Minnesota-based real estate buyer. 'Two markets that are really showing slow selling at the moment and where listed homes are staying on the market longer than they were a year or two ago are Naples, Florida, and Longview, Texas,' Taschner told GOBankingRates. 'The median number of days that homes are sitting on the market in both is well above the national average… All in all, there is greater buyer reluctance and price resistance, even in areas that were previously red hot.' Here's a look at 10 cities where it's getting harder to sell a home. The figures are from Zillow as of Aug. 7, 2025. Austin, Texas Typical home values: $523,769 1-year value change: -6.5% Houston, Texas Typical home values: $269,422 1-year value change: -2.8% Consider This: Jacksonville, Florida Typical home values: $290,108 1-year value change: -3.8% Longview, Texas Typical home values: $232,498 1-year value change: +2.1% Miami, Florida Typical home values: $588,264 1-year value change: -0.7% Naples, Florida Typical home values: $564,809 1-year value change: -7.0% Nashville, Tennessee Typical home values: $445,803 1-year value change: -0.9% Orlando, Florida Typical home values: $381,502 1-year value change: -2.9% Tucson, Arizona Typical home values: $331,789 1-year value change: -2.3% West Palm Beach, Florida Typical home values: $397,047 1-year value change: -4.0% More From GOBankingRates 3 Luxury SUVs That Will Have Massive Price Drops in Summer 2025 Mark Cuban Tells Americans To Stock Up on Consumables as Trump's Tariffs Hit -- Here's What To Buy How Much Money Is Needed To Be Considered Middle Class in Your State?

Ninth Wave Enables Banks to Monetize Open Finance Data Sharing

Ninth Wave's new Portal allows banks to monitor and measure data usage by fintechs and other third parties NEW YORK, August 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ninth Wave, a leading provider of open finance connectivity solutions, announced the launch of its next-generation Ninth Wave Portal, used along with its open finance direct connection platform. The Portal closely monitors and measures all aspects of open finance data, giving financial institutions (FIs) full control over data sharing while providing deeper insights into security and usage patterns. The Portal will enable FIs to monetize data sharing if they choose, creating new revenue streams from open finance. Following reports that JPMorgan Chase plans to charge fintechs for access to customer banking account data, the entire banking industry is considering how to participate in this new revenue stream. To do that, FIs will need software capable of precisely measuring and controlling usage. Commenting on the news, George Anderson, founder and CEO of Ninth Wave, said: "We've always believed the future of finance is permissioned, embedded, and bank-led. As banks regain control over data sharing, Ninth Wave's Portal enables them to securely manage and monetize permissioned data through value-added services, unlocking new revenue streams." Measuring to MonetizeThe Ninth Wave Portal serves as the financial institution's window into their open finance ecosystem, removing guesswork and increasing transparency. By controlling data flows and protecting against threats, the FI remains central to customer trust – making sure all data interactions are securely integrated, permissioned, and compliant with privacy requirements. FIs can now spot business opportunities based on which third-party applications their customers use and accurately charge fintechs and other third-party users of their data. The Ninth Wave Portal's Analytics and Intelligence feature detects all data requests originating from external applications made on behalf of financial institutions' customers, and identifies the following: - Which applications are accessing data from the FI - Which fintech applications are accessing data through aggregator partnerships - What is the volume of requests per application - How many customers are taking advantage of the connectivity and who are they - What are the performance and uptime statistics for the open finance APIs Monitor to Manage SecurityThe Ninth Wave Portal's Fintech Registry™ feature allows FIs to manage risk across the fintech ecosystem by providing a complete view of who and how data is being shared. If the FI detects suspicious activity, they can quickly revoke access for a person, business, fintech application, or ecosystem partner. This is a vital tool for maintaining data security, privacy, and control to protect against financial threats. The Fintech Registry™ also offers additional functions to monitor fintech level entitlements at the customer level, ensuring all data exchanges between customers and fintechs are securely integrated and permissioned.
