KEY POINTS FOR SELLERS
- Increasing Inventory Means Differentiation Matters: With more homes on the market, pricing strategically and presenting your home well will help you stand out.
• Demand Shows Momentum: Closed sales are up 25% from last year and have been increasing year over year since May, showing buyers are currently active.
• Get Out Ahead of the Competition: Listing early reduces the risk of becoming less visible among the heavier seasonal listing surge.
KEY POINTS FOR BUYERS
- Less Competition Now, More Coming: Buying season ramps up in January, so acting now may mean fewer competing buyers and less stress.
- More Choices on the Market: Inventory is up 9% from last month, and new listings just posted their busiest October in years—giving buyers more options.
- Entering Before January Gives You a Head Start: Buyers who shop now get ahead of the surge of new buyers who traditionally re-enter the market after the holidays.
