Mortgage rates hovering near 6% are pulling buyers back into the market, and January can give your clients a meaningful edge. Buyers who purchase a 1,500-square-foot home this month could save an average of $23,000 compared with buying in May, according to LendingTree.

"I've tracked markets for that past 15 years and my clients who get the best prices have purchased in December or January," Matt van Winkle, real estate agent with Compass, tells Realtor.com. "During those months, sellers who are still on the market are more motivated and usually there is less competition."

LendingTree analyzed 2024 home prices throughout all 12 months, and found that May was the priciest month for homebuyers—at a median of $194.20 per square foot. January’s median was 8% lower at $178.60, while February’s was 5.4% lower at $183.70.

If rates keep dropping, what’s the % that would make you pull the trigger: 5’s, low 6’s, or still waiting?

The average rate on 30-year fixed home loans declined to 6.19% for the week ending Oct. 23, down from 6.27% the week before, according to Freddie Mac. Rates averaged 6.54% during the same period in 2024.

Is the end of the year the new prime season for homebuyers?

This fall may offer more advantages than usual. After a "cruel summer" of sluggish home sales and increased delistings, the tide appears to be shifting. Inventory has ticked up in several regions, and mortgage rates are stabilizing, even inching downward—opening the door for well-prepared buyers to make their move.

Buyers who act before year-end can take advantage of several benefits:

1. Lower buyer competition, more negotiation power
2. Tax perks - any buyers who close in 2025 may be eligible to deduct property taxes paid at closing on their 2025 return
3. Penalty-free IRA withdrawals for first-time buyers up to $10,000
4. Closing incentives from lenders
5. Builders are still offering fall deals like special financing, flex cash, and complimentary upgrades
