Navigating the Real Estate Market: Insights from Steph Saunders at Key Team Compass
The real estate landscape is always shifting, but staying informed can turn these changes into opportunities for both buyers and sellers. I’m Steph Saunders of Key Team at Compass, and today I’m sharing the latest Upside/Downside Real Estate Report to help you navigate the market with confidence.
For Buyers: Timing is Everything
The Upside: The holiday season has wrapped up, and while you were enjoying festivities, the market was working in your favor. Interest rates experienced a slight drop — nearly two basis points. This dip presents a valuable window for those ready to take the leap into homeownership.
The Downside: If you’ve been hesitating, you’ve missed the quieter Q4 market. Now, as rates drop, you’ll be joining a wave of buyers re-entering the market in Q1. The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the dream home, without the competition.
For Sellers: Market Readiness Wins
The Upside: Post-holiday enthusiasm and lower interest rates are drawing buyers back into the fray. It’s prime time to capture the attention of eager home seekers looking to make a move.
The Downside: If your home isn’t market-ready in the coming weeks, you risk being caught in the spring surge of listings. More inventory means more competition, potentially making it harder for your property to stand out.
