Realtor.com is reporting that October is the best time to buy a home based statistically on 2018-2025 (excluding 2020 due to Covid). The historic national pattern for this week includes 13.3% more active listings than the average week; 30% fewer views per property and median asking price 3.5% below seasonal peak.
If you are contemplating buying, please consider looking this month. For the Boston Metro market, they rated October 25th-31st as the best week. I have great resources for special mortgage programs, including MassHousing. Let's talk!
