The best time to buy a home this year is here!

Realtor.com says September 27–October 3 is expected to bring the best combination of buyer-friendly conditions in 2026.

We’re talking about more homes to choose from, better pricing, less competition, and more time to decide. And maybe that’s enough to offset some of the pressure today’s higher rates are putting on your budget.

And just so you know, the window doesn’t close after that one week. It’s open all October long!

Did you know fall can actually be one of the best times to buy a home? With fewer buyers competing, motivated sellers, and even potential year-end tax perks, this season comes with some big advantages. Plus, moving costs are often lower and transactions tend to close faster—just in time to settle in before the holidays!

Need to move, but worried you missed the window to sell your house until next year or next spring? Don’t count yourself out of the market so fast. About a third of all home sales happen in the last four months of the year and that share has been growing every year since 2023. Based on the forecasts, that means roughly 11,800 houses are expected to sell every single day between now and the end of December.

Buyers are still out there, ready to move before the new year. Let’s connect and get your house in front of them.

Waiting for mortgage rates to come down may feel like the only way to make buying a home possible. But 41% of buyers who waited wish they'd bought sooner, before rates and prices rose again. Right now, factors like inflation, the economy, and global events are all having an impact on rates and it’s not in the direction you’d hope.

So, for a lot of buyers, waiting might not pay off. Sometimes it just means putting your life on hold for what feels like too long. Before you decide to hit pause on your move, talk to a trusted lender. They’ll go over options that can help make buying work at today’s rates, and how to get the best rate you can.

You certainly don’t have to buy now. You should buy when the numbers work for you. But you should at least know your options before making a decision. 🌈
