As we head into the fall of 2025, the real estate market is showing signs of both opportunity and caution. Traditionally, autumn brings a slower pace compared to the busy spring and summer seasonsābut this year, shifting economic factors are adding some unique dynamics to the mix.
Mortgage Rates & Buyer Activity:
Interest rates have begun to stabilize after the volatility of the past couple of years. This is good news for buyers who were previously priced out. While rates may remain higher than pre-2020 levels, weāre seeing motivated buyers re-enter the market, especially those looking to close before the end of the year.
Inventory & Home Prices:
Inventory remains tight in many areas, which is helping to keep home prices steady. However, sellers who list this fall should be prepared to price competitively and present their homes well, as buyers are more value-conscious than ever.
What It Means for You:
- Buyers:Ā Fall can be a great time to make a move with less competition and motivated sellers.
- Sellers:Ā Thereās still time to capitalize on strong pricingājust be strategic with staging, pricing, and marketing.
- Investors:Ā Watch for price adjustments and opportunities in markets that have cooled from their pandemic peaks.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, fall 2025 is shaping up to be a season of strategic moves. Letās talk about your next step!
