Maybe, just maybe, I am finally seeing the market beginning to plateau in my area which is definitely good for someone in my shoes (looking, but patiently).

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed similar trends in their area?
I don't think it has calmed down much in Kansas City. Yes, listing prices seem reasonable but that is by design. The realtors set a reasonable price, sometimes even a bit low, with the hopes of creating a bidding war. The home then sells for 10%-20% higher. That's still the case now according to my realtor who's been helping us find a home since October 2019.
