Why October Is the Best Time To Buy a Home in 2025

If you've been watching from the sidelines, now's the time to lean in. It's officially the best time to buy this year. October will have the most buyer friendly conditions of any month in 2025. 

So, if you're ready and able to buy right now, shooting for this month means you should see: 
More homes to choose from 
Less competition from other buyers 
More time to browse 
Better home prices 
Sellers who are more willing to negotiate 

Just remember, every market is different. For most of the top 50 largest metros, that sweet spot falls in October. But the peak time to buy may be slightly earlier or later, depending on where you live. 

What the Experts are Saying 
"Homebuyers are in the best position in more than five years to find the right home and negotiate for a better price. Current inventory is at its highest since May 2020, during the COVID lockdown." 

"Nationally, now is a good time to buy, if you can afford it... with falling mortgage rates and significantly more inventory, buyers have a upper hand in negotiations."
 
"This fall might just be the best window for home buyers in the past 5 years."
