The Best Time To Buy a Home Is Almost Here. Are Your Clients Ready?
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to reconnect with your buyer leads, this is it.
According to Realtor.com, October is officially the best month to buy a home in 2025. Here’s why: more listings, slightly better prices, and less competition than in spring or summer.
But here’s what most buyers don’t realize: while this year the week of October 12 – 18th is the best time to buy nationally, the exact week to buy depends on where they live.
That’s where your local real estate expertise really stands out – and using this KCM Best Time To Buy Playbook gives you everything you need to make it happen. Here’s why.
Why This Matters for Real Estate Agents
When mortgage rates went up and inventory stayed tight, a lot of buyers hit pause. Many are still waiting, unsure if now is the right time to buy a home.
This is your chance to bring them clarity – not opinions or headlines, but data and insights.
You’re not just saying it’s a good time to buy. You’re showing them why, with real numbers and local housing market context.
What’s Different About This October
Right now, market conditions are creating a rare advantage for buyers:
- More homes for sale than we’ve seen in recent years.
- Slower home price growth, which means monthly payments are more manageable.
- Less competition, so buyers don’t have to rush or overbid.
It’s not 2021 anymore. The market is more balanced – and that’s good news for today’s buyers.
