If you’ve been hesitant to list your house because you’re worried no one’s buying, or if you’re a buyer watching the market to understand the best time to buy, here’s your sign it may be time to talk with an agent. With falling mortgage rates bringing more buyers back into the market, now is the perfect opportunity for both sellers and buyers to make a move!

Many potential buyers are holding off on purchasing a home, anticipating that mortgage rates will drop even further. The common belief is that lower rates will make homes more affordable and provide better financing terms. This wait-and-see approach is based on the hope that a lower rate will save money over the life of the loan and make homeownership more attainable.

The seasonal impact on the market is as you might expect, a little slower. With many leaving on vacations, the number of homes on and coming to market reduces and open houses aren’t as packed. That doesn’t mean the market is on vacation though; quite the opposite! There's a wave of new buyers entering the market alongside those already in the market.
