Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have sharply increased their mortgage-backed securities holdings, a move that could help push mortgage rates lower.

Since May, the two have added more than $55 billion in mortgage balances, up over 30%, bringing combined holdings to $234 billion, the highest level in four years. Analysts told Bloomberg the total could grow by another $100 billion next year.

Officials have offered no explanation, fueling speculation the buildup could be tied to a potential public stock offering or an effort to help lower mortgage rates.

Why December Is a Surprisingly Great Time to Buy or Sell a Home

When most people think about real estate, spring and summer usually come to mind. December often gets overlooked, but it can actually be one of the most strategic times to buy or sell a home.

Industry experts consistently point out that holiday real estate activity isn’t slow. It’s simply more intentional. Buyers and sellers active in December are typically motivated, informed, and ready to move forward.

Less Competition Creates More Opportunity for Sellers:

According to CNBC, housing inventory is often lower in December because many homeowners wait until the new year to list. This reduced competition means your home has a better chance to stand out.

For sellers, this can result in:

More serious buyers

Less market saturation

Greater negotiating leverage

Homes listed during the holidays often attract buyers who need to move, not just those casually browsing.

Buyers Are More Motivated and More Flexible
December buyers are frequently driven by job changes, relocations, tax planning, or timing goals. Sellers listing near year-end may be more open to negotiation, closing credits, or flexible terms to finalize a sale before the calendar turns.

This motivation on both sides can lead to:

Faster decision-making

Cleaner offers

Smoother transactions

Financial and Tax Timing Advantages
Buying or selling before the end of the year may also come with financial benefits, including:

Potential tax planning considerations

Locking in financing before year-end changes

Taking advantage of seller flexibility

While every situation is unique, December timing can be advantageous when paired with thoughtful planning and professional guidance.

Homes Feel More Inviting During the Holidays
Holiday decor, warm lighting, and seasonal ambiance can make homes feel especially welcoming. When staged simply and tastefully, homes often show their best features. Cozy living areas, functional kitchens, and spaces meant for gathering all resonate with buyers.

Emotional connection matters, and December homes often leave a lasting impression.

Less Crowded Schedules Mean More Attention
With fewer overall transactions happening, professionals involved in the process, including agents, lenders, inspectors, and title companies, often have more availability.

This can mean:

Easier scheduling

Faster communication

A more personalized experience

A Head Start on the New Year
Buying or selling in December allows you to start the new year settled and prepared, rather than scrambling during the competitive spring market. For many, that head start is worth its weight in gold.

Is December the Right Time for You?
December isn’t right for everyone, but as Forbes points out, it offers advantages many people don’t realize. If you’re considering a move now or early next year, understanding your options sooner can help you make confident decisions.

Sometimes, the best opportunities come when others are waiting.
