As we enter the final month of the 2025 holiday selling season, the housing market is wrapping up with a blend of encouraging and challenging trends. Prices continue to show modest increases, yet many areas are experiencing an imbalance with more listings than active buyers.

One bright spot: mortgage rates continue to decline, now sitting in the low 6% range for a 30-year loan—down a full percentage point from their peak earlier this year. We wouldn’t be surprised to see rates begin with a “5” in the near future, and many industry experts believe this could help firm up demand heading into 2026.

Some industry professionals argue that now is an excellent time to buy, with homes currently selling at an average 5% discount to list price, and many closing at even deeper discounts. Less competition today may translate to better opportunities for well-prepared buyers.

📊 November 2025 Detached Homes – North Fulton (Year-over-Year)

• Active Listings: ↑ 34%
• Closed Sales: ↓ 13%
• Days on Market: ↑ 30%
• Median Sales Price: ↑ 2%

On a national scale, November trends mirror what we’re seeing locally: higher inventory, longer days on market, and the need for price reductions to move listings. Buyers have more choices and may find motivated sellers, while economists expect home price growth to continue slowing nationwide—though some regions like the Northeast and Midwest remain strong.

Despite the broader slowdown, our team continues to see many of our listings go under contract within the first week—often achieving top-dollar results. At the same time, savvy buyers are finding excellent opportunities in homes that have been sitting on the market longer.
