  • Here's your money briefing for Monday, June 23rd.

  • I'm Julia Carpenter for The Wall Street Journal.

  • The housing market is undergoing a big change, one not seen since 2013.

  • There are now more sellers trying to move their homes than buyers looking for a place to call home.

  • Now buyers can maybe go see the home two or three times.

  • They can think about it.

  • They can come back.

  • And then they have a lot more power to negotiate right now.

  • We'll talk with Wall Street Journal reporter Nicole Friedman about buyers finally having the upper hand and what it means for house hunters and homeowners alike.

  • That's after the break.

  • For years, house hunters have struggled with rising home prices and low inventory.

  • But finally, things are changing.

  • What does it mean for potential buyers to seize this long-awaited advantage?

  • WSJ reporter Nicole Friedman joins me to talk more.

  • Nicole,

  • you've reported so many different stories about just how few homes there are for house hunters.

  • And now that's changing?

  • Yes, the market is really changing right now.

  • And for years, as you said, it has really been a seller's market.

  • There have just been not enough homes for sale.
