As we wrap up another year, December is a natural time for reflection — and for looking ahead. While the national housing conversation is filled with predictions, interest rate chatter, and “what ifs,” the local numbers here in Northeast Ohio tell a steadier story.
Inventory is higher than last year, giving buyers more options. This means buyers have more breathing room than they did a year ago, but sellers who price and prepare correctly are still seeing strong results — even heading into winter.
This month’s newsletter brings together insights to help you close out the year informed and ready:
🔹 A snapshot of November’s local market activity
🔹 A look ahead at what experts predict for 2026
🔹 Guidance for buyers wondering if now still makes sense
🔹 Smart winter selling strategies that work
🔹 Long-term perspective on why homeownership still pays off
December isn’t just the end of a year — it’s the start of new plans. Whether 2026 brings a move, a remodel, or simply more questions, the best first step is understanding your options.
If you’d like a personalized market update, a winter selling strategy, or a no-pressure conversation about timing your next move, I’m always here to help.
Wishing you a warm, peaceful holiday season and a confident start to the year ahead.
