November Market Update 🍂 | Fresh Opportunities This Fall

This fall, as the temperatures cool, Houston’s market is heating up with more inventory—making for a busy but balanced season for both buyers and sellers. Buyers have regained leverage, sellers are adjusting expectations, and fall could feel like a “second spring” for sales activity.

1. Mortgage Rates are Settling:

   Now hovering around 6-6.5%, settling mortgage rates are

   bringing more buyers back into the market.

2. Inventory:

   A national 12% increase in inventory is giving buyers more choices and softening competition.

3. Time on the Market:

   Homes are spending a median of 31 days on the market

   nationwide.

4. Steady Prices:

   Home prices remain stable, up roughly 2% from last year, reflecting ongoing demand despite the market’s cooldown.

5. Houston Snapshot:

   Locally, bidding wars are less frequent (around 20% of listings), and suburban inventory is giving buyers more options.

GETTING READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS:

Thanksgiving gatherings and Christmas celebrations are right around the corner—making now the perfect time to prepare your home for the most joyful season of the year. Think cozy layers, elegant tablescapes, and simple touches that bring warmth and cheer to every space. A little organization and styling now can make hosting effortless later. Whether it’s refreshing guest spaces, adding festive greenery, or setting up a welcoming entryway, small intentional updates help your home feel both beautiful and holiday-ready.
