The real questions are:
๐ฆ Can the inconvenience be mitigated?
๐ฆ What is the net cost/benefit of that perceived inconvenience?
I can answer that on a case by case basisโฆ

Buyers are active and ready, and prices are holding strong and even starting to inch back up in some of these areas.
๐ก My advice to homes sellers right now: donโt wait for spring! I think thatโs what a lot of sellers are doing after a slow second half in 2025 where inventory was way up and buyers were on the fence. But that has changed!
DM me to find out what your home could sell for in this low-inventory market Iโm seeing. This may be the best window weโve had in a long time for sellers, and the stats I just looked into and share here prove it!

Why? Fewer buyers = less competition. And with some listings sitting longer than expected, savvy house hunters could find more negotiating power.
PLUS, the lock-in effect where homeowners stay put to keep their low interest rates is finally starting to ease. ๐ As more people move, weโre seeing a shift that could unlock more inventory in early 2026.
๐ฏ Thinking of buying or selling soon? Letโs talk strategy before the new year rush hits!
