Erika’s winter market wisdom

Buyers: Less competition means more negotiating power. Look for motivated sellers, year-end deals, and homes that have been sitting since fall. Secure financing now for early 2026 closings.

Sellers: Serious buyers are shopping now—showcase your home’s winter features, maintain clear walkways, and price competitively. Strategic December listings can close by spring’s peak season.
