You know it is quiet season when the biggest news of the week is that Redfin started showing the number of views and favorites a home has again!

Buyers: This is prime “make an offer and see what happens” time. A few of our clients are testing the waters right now, and I expect we’ll put together some strong, end-of-year wins.

Sellers: If you’re eyeing an early-2026 sale, now’s a great time to talk strategy. Just hit reply and we’ll give you a sense of value and the prep timeline.

And if you think it is quiet now, just wait until next week when it will be really quiet!
