The Best Time to Buy a Home in 2026
When it comes to timing your home purchase, having the right information can make all the difference. For those planning ahead to 2026, there’s a particular window that stands out: September 27 to October 3. During this period, buyers are expected to find the best combination of available homes, more approachable pricing, and less competition—all factors that can ease the journey. Nationally, active listings could be up by 31.9% compared to the start of the year and 13.3% higher than an average week, giving buyers more options to choose from. Listing prices are projected to be about 3.5% below their seasonal high, which could mean potential savings of $14,000 on a median-priced home of $416,000. Buyer competition is also expected to be down 30.1% from the annual peak, and homes may spend around 64 days on the market—offering precious breathing room for decision-making. The overall landscape is expected to favor buyers, with expanding inventory and gentler demand. As always, my focus is on helping you understand these shifts so you can approach your next move with clarity and confidence.

Want buyers to feel “this is home” in 3 seconds? Start with color 🎨
Soft whites + warm beiges calm the eye, while a muted blue accent signals “fresh and cared for.” Keep bold shades for pillows or art so the room still feels spacious.

Warm, seasonal staging doesn’t mean filling every corner with decor 🍂

Think layered textures, soft lighting, and 1–2 subtle nods to the season at the entry and living room. It feels cozy, not cluttered—and lets buyers imagine their own style in the space.

End-of-summer home checklist: tasks to do before fall
As summer draws to a close here in the Prescott Quad Cities, I’m often asked how to best prepare a home for the coming fall. Over my two decades in real estate, I’ve seen how a proactive approach makes all the difference—whether you’re planning to sell soon or simply want to keep your property in top shape. This end-of-summer home checklist is a great place to start: pest-proof your property, schedule HVAC maintenance, clean decks and gutters, seal any air leaks, winterize your outdoor faucets, and give your lawn a boost with aeration and fertilizing. Indoors, a deep clean now can make the transition into fall much smoother. Taking these steps not only protects your investment but also sets you up for a comfortable, worry-free season ahead.

Buyers Gain Unique Opportunities Amid Growing Inventory
It’s not often that buyers find themselves with extra negotiating power, but current market shifts are creating just that scenario. Pending home sales across the US have dipped to a six-month low as new listings and available inventory rise. This means buyers are seeing more choices—and in some cases, stronger footing at the negotiating table. Median home prices have edged up 1.9% to $400,649, with higher mortgage rates continuing to affect monthly payment amounts. Still, we’re starting to see price drops and more seller concessions in several markets. With over two decades guiding clients through every kind of market, I believe it’s crucial to understand what these changes could mean for your next move. My approach has always been to make the process clear and help you feel confident, whether you’re buying, selling, or exploring your options.

Buy and Sell a Home Simultaneously: Strategies for Success
Navigating the process of buying and selling a home at the same time can feel overwhelming, but with the right planning, it’s entirely manageable. Over my two decades in real estate, I’ve guided many clients in the Prescott Quad Cities area through this exact scenario. If you sell your home first, you’ll have a clear budget for your next purchase, though you might need to arrange temporary housing in the interim. On the other hand, buying first allows you more time to find the right property, but it can mean carrying two mortgages for a while. Some folks consider contingent offers, which can limit your financial exposure but sometimes make your offer less attractive to sellers. No matter your path, a solid strategy and a flexible mindset are key. My approach always centers on clear communication and helping clients understand every option so they can make informed, confident decisions.

What Smaller U.S. Homes Could Mean for Buyers
Over the past decade, we’ve seen a noticeable shift in new single-family homes across the U.S.: average size has dropped from 2,700 to 2,400 square feet, while the price per square foot has surged by about 72%. By 2025, one in four new homes sold measured under 1,800 square feet—compared to roughly one in six homes a decade ago. Meanwhile, larger homes (3,000 sq-ft or more) have become less common, falling from about one in three to just one in five. Builders are leaning into more compact designs to help offset the steady climb in land, labor, and material costs, especially as mortgage rates hover between 6% and 7%. For buyers—especially those watching their budgets or stepping into homeownership for the first time—these smaller homes can make down payments and monthly expenses a bit more manageable. Still, the increase in price per square foot is a reminder that affordability remains a challenge. Having spent years guiding clients through these evolving trends, I believe understanding these shifts is key to making decisions you’ll feel confident about—whether you’re hoping to buy, sell, or simply plan your next move.

List your non-negotiables, keep 3–6 months of expenses in savings, and leave room for surprise costs like repairs and moving.
