๐ก Why is October 12โ18 the national โbest weekโ to buy a home?
For the first time in years, the market is showing signs of balanceโcreating rare opportunities for buyers:
โจ More listings (inventory at its highest since before the pandemic)
โจ Less competition (demand down nearly 31% from peak season)
โจ Homes on the market longer (more time to negotiate)
โจ Lower prices (3.4% below seasonal highs = ~$15K savings)
โจ More price cuts (5.5% of homes discounted)
โจ Fresh inventory (15.7% more new listings vs. early year)
