When people think of peak real estate season, spring and summer usually come to mind. But here’s a little insider tip: don’t sleep on October.
Sure, the Lima market tends to feel a bit quieter this time of year—fewer open houses, less buzz, and not nearly as many bidding wars. But quieter doesn’t mean dead. In fact, for serious sellers, October can be a golden opportunity.
🍂 The Truth About Fall Buyers
This is when the window shoppers have moved on, and the serious buyers step forward.
They’re not just browsing Zillow on their lunch break—they’ve got deadlines.
Many want to close before the holidays, relocate for a new job starting in January, or simply beat any potential interest rate hikes and bad weather.
These buyers are focused, motivated, and ready to move quickly.
🏡 Sellers: Make Every Showing Count
Here’s the deal: you may not get the volume of showings you’d see in May or June—but the showings you do get? They count.
That’s why it’s more important than ever to:
- Keep your home spotless and show-ready
- Highlight seasonal curb appeal (think mums, pumpkins, warm lighting)
- Price strategically and market smart
Because these buyers are watching closely—and they’re ready to act.
