For Week Ending October 4, 2025

Nationally, the best time to buy a home is the week of October 12–18, according to a recent report from Realtor®.com. Historically, this week offers the most favorable conditions for buyers, with higher inventory levels, lower home prices, reduced competition, and a slower market pace. However, the optimal buying window varies across local markets. Some areas have already experienced peak buyer conditions, while others may not reach their ideal period until November or December.
