Buyers Beware! This is why it is so important to work with a professional realtor.

A growing real estate scam known as seller impersonation fraud is surging, with criminals attempting to sell homes and land they do not own. Scammers often target vacant land or properties without a mortgage, using stolen identities and deepfake technology to impersonate the owner. The problem has become so frequent that nearly 1 in 4 title firms reported three or more attempts in the month before the latest survey, up from just 4% two years earlier. In some cases, the real owner does not learn what happened until after the fraudulent sale is complete.

Our new report identifies Sept. 27–Oct. 3 as the best week of the year to buy a home, offering a rare window of opportunity for shoppers. During this time, buyers could see potential savings of roughly $14K on a median-priced home of $416,000 compared to the summer peak. This advantage is driven by nearly 32% more active listings than at the start of the year and viewership per property that is roughly 30% lower.
