The market is shifting, and we’re seeing a meaningful jump in sales.

As we head into the holiday season and a brand-new year, I wanted to share a quick but important update on what’s happening in our local real estate market. It’s been a little while since I last sent an update, and a few things have shifted that are worth paying attention to.

Inventory has stayed fairly steady. We’ve seen a slight increase, about 40 more available homes compared to the previous month, but overall, it hasn’t changed enough to create a major difference in buyer or seller behavior. What has changed, though, is buyer activity.

More demand for homes. Over the last two months, both September and October of 2025, we saw more homes sell compared to the same months in 2024. That’s a meaningful jump, and it tells us that demand is quietly picking up. We’ll see if that trend continues as we move deeper into winter, but it’s definitely a positive sign for anyone thinking about a move.

What does this mean for you? If buying or selling a home is part of your goals for 2026, now is the perfect time to start planning. Even if you’re not making a move until later next year, getting clear on your timelines, preferences, and strategy now will put you in a much stronger position when the time comes.

We can talk about what you want in your next home, what your current home might sell for, how to prepare, and what to expect based on your ideal timeline. The earlier we start that conversation, the smoother everything will be.

If you’d like to go over your 2026 plans or talk through the market, I’d love to help. Call us at The Pinnacle Homes Group at (407) 499-8993 or send a message to chris@mypinnaclehomes.com. You can also visit our website, MyPinnacleHomes.com.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the rest of the holiday season.
