The October Advantage
October isn’t just pumpkin spice and costume season; it’s also a surprising moment in the housing market. Did you know? 📊 In October 2024, nationally, homes spent a record 58 days on the market, the slowest October in five years. (realtor.com)
That means more time for buyers to explore, negotiate, and find something they really love. And for sellers, it’s a reminder to polish listings and price with intention.
🏡 Tips For Buyers
Take advantage of the extra time: visit more homes, compare options, request inspections - don’t feel rushed.
🏠 Tips For Sellers
Make your home shine: high-quality photos, staged rooms, fresh curb appeal = more attention.
💼 Tips For Investors
With longer market time, pricing becomes even more critical. Watch your comps and move quickly on good deals.
Real Estate Pro Tip: In the housing market, slower can mean smarter. Use October’s extra days to build advantage, not frustration.
