Week 41 data shows new listings up 18%, but buyer traffic (down ~29%) means fewer casual lookers and more serious offers. Fall buyers are motivated—relocations, expiring leases, or wanting to close before the holidays. That’s why sellers who price correctly see fast results even as inventory climbs.
Clean presentation is key: neutral colors, warm lighting, and fresh photos. Re-listings with updated imagery often see a 15% bump in views. Be open to closing-cost credits or a home warranty offer to sweeten the deal.
Insider note: Homes listed between Oct 10–20 average 35% more weekend showings than early September.
