WELCOME

You know that one relative with the terribly-timed bit about how they bought their first house with two nickels and a bushel of blueberries—then sold it for half a million last year? While the rest of us are staring down a 7% interest rate and historic home prices?

October marks annual ‘Buyer’s Week’

According to Realtor.com, October 1-7 is the best week of the year to buy property. Why?

• Active listings typically hit their fall peak this week

• Competition cools, extending the average days-on-market

• Prices tend to dip just before winter

October’s sweet spot can save buyers an average of $15,000 and give them a bit of extra negotiating room. Especially in pricey markets like LA, Chicago, Dallas, and Houston.
