Stop waiting for spring. I’ll go over how the fall market’s lower competition and deadline-driven buyers can work in your favor.
Thinking about selling your home but wondering if it’s too late in the year? Here’s something you might not expect: fall is one of the best seasons to sell. Serious buyers come out in the cooler months, and they’re often more focused, more prepared, and more determined to close a deal. If you’ve been waiting for the right time, you may be looking at it right now.
They need to move fast. Many fall buyers are working against the calendar. They want to be settled before the winter holidays or the start of the new year. This deadline drives them to act quickly, make decisions faster, and keep the process moving smoothly from offer to closing.
They are prepared to buy. Unlike the casual shoppers who fill the spring market, fall buyers have already done their homework. By this time of year, those still searching know their budget, have narrowed down their priorities, and are ready to act the moment they find the right home. They aren’t browsing—they’re buying.
They want year-end tax savings. Closing on a home before December 31 can bring valuable tax advantages, including deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes. This financial benefit provides buyers with an added incentive to move forward now rather than wait until the new year.
“Prepared buyers act fast when the right home appears.”
They face less competition. With fewer homes on the market compared to spring and summer, fall buyers understand that desirable properties won’t stay available for long. This awareness often leads them to make stronger and more competitive offers to secure the home they want.
Rates give them more power. This fall, interest rates are the lowest they’ve been in over a year. Lower rates give buyers more purchasing power, allowing them to afford more home and making them eager to lock in a deal before rates change again.
Selling in the fall means connecting with buyers who are motivated, decisive, and ready to make your home their next move. If you haven’t listed your property yet, there’s still time to take advantage of this opportunity. Call me today at 1-800-722-2585, visit www.tami-holmes.com, or email vip@tami-holmes.com.
