Key Takeaways:

Market Movement & Trend

Sales trended lower through fall, with median price holding steady, though "urgency" among buyers has softened. Both inventory and days on market are notably higher than the same period last year—a sign of power shifting away from sellers for now.

6-Week Forecast: December 2025–January 2026

Price Outlook

Expect prices to remain near $325,000, potentially softening if inventory ticks higher.

Well-priced homes will still sell, but stale or overpriced listings may see more price reductions.

Buyer Demand

Demand will remain moderate through the holidays, as is typical, but…

If the Fed implements its widely anticipated rate cut in December, watch for a surge of "sideline" buyers—especially those who paused in high-rate 2024–2025—initiating purchase activity. This could yield a (temporary) bounce in pending and closed sales in Q1 2026 as lower mortgage rates filter into the market.

Leading Indicators

Months of inventory (6+) supports a buyer's market for most categories.

Sales volume has trended downward for three consecutive months.

If mortgage rates move materially lower, expect an uptick, but not a full reversal; lasting impact depends on how much supply remains elevated after January.

What to Do: Actionable Guidance

Sellers

Prep and price homes aggressively—buyers have leverage, but the right combination of price and presentation will still close deals.

Consider listing early in the new year to capitalize on post-rate-cut demand.

Buyers

Take advantage of inventory and leverage through year-end, but be ready to act decisively in Q1 2026 as rates drop and competition ticks up.

Present strong offers on well-prepped homes, but don’t overpay—choice remains through winter.

Investors

Monitor expired listings and "days on market"—good deals will emerge as some sellers capitulate.

Consider securing properties before the rate cut triggers increased investor/owner-occupant competition.
