Congratulations to my dearest clients of 10+ years on the sale of their home in

🎄🏡 Buying during the holidays might be the smartest move you make this year.

Here’s why:
✔️ Sellers who keep their homes listed through Christmas are usually very motivated.
✔️ Buyer activity drops in fall/winter = less competition.
✔️ Inventory is still high, giving you more options.
✔️ You can craft an offer in your favor.

Don’t wait until spring when everyone else jumps back in. Smart buyers act when the competition is low.

🏡 Rental Market Update

📊 Median rent holding steady at $2,150
⏳ Homes are sitting longer — about 46 days on average
🔄 Many rentals used to be for sale

Instead of chasing endless price reductions, some sellers are pivoting. By renting their homes, they:
✔ Collect monthly rental income
✔ Take advantage of landlord tax benefits
✔ Ride out the market until conditions improve

It’s a long play, but for the right seller, it can work.
