Mid-October isn’t just another week…it’s when buyers finally get the upper hand.

Why October 12–18 Matters for Buyers

October 12–18 is shaping up to be the best week of 2025 to buy a home. More listings, less competition, and more time to negotiate all come together in this short window.

Here’s what the data shows:

• More choices. Inventory typically hits its peak in mid-October, giving buyers the widest selection of the year.

• Less competition. Many buyers who were active in summer have already closed, which means fewer bidding wars.

• More time. Homes are staying on the market longer compared to past years, so you can make thoughtful decisions instead of rushing.

• Better positioning. With the right plan, you’ll have more leverage when sellers are motivated to close before year’s end.

Mid-October isn’t just another week — it’s when buyers finally get the upper hand.
