Why Fall 2025 Could Be the Best Time To Sell Your House

Mortgage rates just dipped to their lowest point since October 2024, and buyers are taking notice. Applications for home loans are up 23% compared to this time last year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

If you’ve been waiting to sell, or if your listing expired earlier this year, this may be the moment to take another shot.

When Rates Drop, Buyers React
This week, the 30-year mortgage rate fell to about 6.13%. That shift has sparked renewed buyer activity. Affordability improves when rates ease, and today’s buyers are quick to act on even small changes.

For much of the past year, buyer demand was sluggish. But now, with affordability improving, more buyers are moving forward. That’s good news for sellers who want to attract serious interest.

Why Acting Now Matters
If you wait, there’s a chance rates may fall further and draw in more buyers. But more buyers also attract more sellers, which means more competition for your listing. Right now, you have a chance to get ahead while other homeowners are still on the sidelines.

Think of it like this: if your home competes against two listings instead of ten, your chances of standing out go way up.

Expired Listings, Fresh Opportunities
For homeowners whose listings expired earlier this year, this is an especially important shift. The market conditions that made selling tough have changed. With more buyers reentering, your home may now find the audience it missed before.

What This Means for Sellers

• Buyer demand is up, fueled by falling rates.

• Competition from other sellers is still relatively low.

• Acting now could help you capture attention before the next wave of listings hits.
