What This Means for Buyers:

Q4 provided strategic opportunities, particularly for properties that had been listed for 60+ days. While competition remained strong for well-priced homes, buyers benefited from slightly greater negotiation leverage than during peak seasons.

What This Means for Sellers:

The first 30 days remained critical. Homes positioned correctly achieved strong sale-to-list ratios and minimized extended marketing time. Accurate pricing and presentation were key to capturing serious year-end buyers.
