🏡 Why is October 12–18 the national “best week” to buy a home?
For the first time in years, the market is showing signs of balance—creating rare opportunities for buyers:
✨ More listings (inventory at its highest since before the pandemic)
✨ Less competition (demand down nearly 31% from peak season)
✨ Homes on the market longer (more time to negotiate)
✨ Lower prices (3.4% below seasonal highs = ~$15K savings)
✨ More price cuts (5.5% of homes discounted)
✨ Fresh inventory (15.7% more new listings vs. early year)
