Fall Market Outlook 2025: What Buyers & Sellers Should Expect

Every season brings new dynamics to the housing market, and Fall 2025 is no exception. Whether you’re preparing to buy your dream home or planning to sell before the year ends, understanding market trends will help you make smarter decisions. Here’s what Move Forward Real Estate is tracking this September.

1. Longer Listing Periods

Homes are staying on the market longer compared to last year. Buyers have more options, which means pricing competitively is essential.

2. Builder Incentives & Price Adjustments

New construction homes are offering incentives like interest rate buy-downs or upgraded appliances. Buyers should compare resale homes with builder deals.

3. Rising Demand for Rural & Remote Living

Remote work has reignited demand for rural and suburban properties. If you own land or a home outside the city, this fall could be the right time to list.

4. Mortgage Rate Watch

Rates remain higher than in previous years, but motivated buyers are still active, particularly those wanting to close before the holidays.

This fall’s real estate market offers opportunities for both buyers and sellers, if you know how to navigate it. From pricing competitively to timing your purchase strategically, the right moves now can pay off later.
