OCTOBER MARKET TRENDS TO WATCH

Inventory Surge

October has brought significantly more listings compared to August and September. This week's 58 new listings represent healthy inventory across all price points, giving buyers more leverage than we've seen in months.

Seasonal Opportunity

Fall sellers are often highly motivated:

Job relocations requiring winter moves
Estate sales needing resolution before year-end
Builders closing out inventory before the holidays
Empty nesters ready to downsize

Translation: More negotiating room for prepared buyers.

Interest Rate Environment

While rates remain elevated compared to 2020-2021, they've stabilized. Buyers who can qualify now have the advantage of:

Less competition than spring/summer markets
More time to consider homes without bidding wars
Opportunity to refinance later if rates drop

Price Stability

The median price of $479,950 reflects a mature market. Unlike the wild appreciation of 2021-2022, we're seeing sustainable, modest growth that benefits long-term homeowners.

TAKE ACTION: THIS WEEK'S OPPORTUNITIES WON'T LAST

With 58 new listings and multiple homes below $350,000, this is one of the strongest weeks we've seen for buyer opportunity in 2025. The properties under $400,000 will move quickly - historically, these spend less than 30 days on market.
