Now may be a better time to sell than you'd expect.

Since mortgage rates have come down compared to their high earlier this year, more buyers are re-starting their home search. And here’s the data to prove it.

This graph shows homebuyer activity is hovering at the highest level so far this year.

More people are applying for home loans. And it’s already turning into more homes going under contract.
That jump in activity opens up real opportunities for sellers right now.
There’s a renewed sense of energy in the market going into 2026. And homeowners who decide to sell can ride that shift in momentum.

If you want to get in on the action and get your house in front of these eager buyers, DM me.
