🏡 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers are seeing a bit more breathing room this season. Although inventory is slightly down from last year, homes are spending fewer days on market, indicating continued demand—especially for homes priced right and in move-in ready condition.

While fewer homes were sold this November, prices have remained steady or increased. This suggests that motivated buyers are still out there and the market is competitive, but not overheated.

Tips for Buyers:

• Get pre-approved to stay ahead of fluctuating mortgage rates

• Target homes with longer days on market for negotiation potential

• Be ready to act quickly—inventory remains limited in many areas

🏠 What This Means for Sellers

If you're thinking of selling, it's still a favorable time—especially if your home is well-presented and priced right. Homes are selling faster than they were a year ago, and the median sale price is climbing.

Lower overall inventory means less competition for your listing. As we head into the holidays, well-prepared homes can stand out to serious buyers who are still actively shopping.

Tips for Sellers:

• Use seasonal décor and lighting to create an inviting atmosphere

• Work with an agent to price strategically in today’s market

• Highlight updates and move-in readiness in your listing
