The holiday season is here, and while you’re planning festive gatherings and picking out presents, you might want to add a new home to your wish list! According to an article from Realtor.com, Raleigh is not only celebrated for its arts and culture scene, but homebuyers could see prices as much as $25,000 below this year’s peak price. Combine that with the seasonal slowdown in demand and an uptick in inventory, and it’s clear: now is the perfect time to make your move in the Raleigh market. So, whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious, let’s dive into what this means for you.
For Buyers
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, consider this your sign! Historically, this time of year strikes the perfect balance of reduced demand and more options on the market. As Realtor.com points out, “This week strikes the perfect balance of conditions, with reduced demand, a slower pace, and an uptick in housing inventory.” That means less competition, more choices, and extra cash in your pocket thanks to lower prices. Imagine snagging your dream home and still having plenty left over for tickets to Raleigh’s famous ballets, plays, and operas.
For Sellers
While the market may be slower, don’t let that discourage you from selling. Buyers who are house-hunting during the holidays are serious and motivated. With the Raleigh market maintaining strong appeal, thanks to its vibrant community and desirable location, you’re still in a great position to sell. By working with a REALTOR® who knows the ins and outs of the market (hint: that’s me!), you can ensure your home is staged, marketed, and priced to appeal to those serious buyers.
