Why November Could Be an Interesting Time for Homeowners

You might think spring is the only prime selling season, but November holds some unexpected advantages for homeowners thinking about the future. For one, fewer homes on the market mean less competition, giving your property a chance to shine. Plus, buyers this time of year are often motivated and serious, looking to settle in before the holidays or preparing for upcoming relocations.

Even if you’re not ready to list until spring, now is a great time to start preparing. I’d be happy to stop by, take a look at your home, and offer suggestions for small improvements that could boost your appeal down the line. And if you’re curious about how the market is evolving, I can provide monthly market updates specific to your neighborhood to help us track trends and find the perfect time to list.
