How Fall Buyers Can Use Year-End to Their Advantage for a Better Deal
Article courtesy of Realtor.com
Seasonality has long shaped the housing market. For decades, buyers and sellers have flocked to the summer months, drawn by school breaks, favorable weather, and a flood of listings. But the summer surge can also leave many behind, especially those unable to compete with all-cash offers or bidding wars.
That’s why fall has often been a quieter, more strategic season—less frenzy, more flexibility.
“The final months of the year can be an extremely advantageous time frame for home purchasers,” says Leo Pond, a real estate adviser at Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty. “Seasonal sellers who listed in the spring and have hung around the market until this time are generally anxious to sell, and the ones who don’t have to sell this year generally pull their home off the market.”
And this fall may offer more advantages than usual. After a “cruel summer” of sluggish home sales and increased delistings, the tide appears to be shifting. Inventory has ticked up in several regions, and mortgage rates are stabilizing, even inching downward—opening the door for well-prepared buyers to make their move.
Those who act before Dec. 31 can also tap into financial benefits, from tax deductions to closing cost credits—provided they’re ready to move fast.
Lower buyer competition, more negotiation power
“Many consider year-end to be a strategic time to buy a home, as sellers often want to close before Dec. 31, which potentially provides buyers additional leverage in negotiating closing costs,” says Gina Stoddard, chief of staff at Broad Financial.
And with inventory on the rise—up 4.3% in the South and 9.3% in the West compared with pre-pandemic levels, according to the Realtor.com July 2025 Housing Market Trends Report—buyers have more opportunity to take advantage than they have in years.
Less competition means fewer bidding wars and more power to negotiate the extras that add up: closing cost credits, home warranties, even repair concessions. While sticker shock may prevent novice buyers from even putting in an offer, these concessions can end up knocking thousands of dollars off the price of a home.
Renovate or Relocate? The Key Signs It’s Better To Move Than
Remodel
Article courtesy of Realtor.com
For example, a homeowner may have had their house on the market all summer, but due to a failing roof, the home hasn’t sold. Now, as fall approaches, they’re eager to get the home off their hands before the holiday season. While they won’t budge on the sale price, they’re happy to offer a $30,000 concession (which is paid out of their proceeds) to replace the roof.
In this case, while a buyer will pay the purchase price, they get the benefit of $30,000 cash to pay for a new roof—a home improvement with 60% or more return on investment.
Tax perks for buyers who close before Dec. 31
There’s a host of tax perks for homebuyers who are able to close before the year-end as well, compounding the cost savings effects of the fall and winter seasons.
Any buyers who close in 2025 may be eligible to deduct property taxes paid at closing on their 2025 return. “If you close before Dec. 31, you may be able to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes on your upcoming tax return, even if you only owned the home for a few weeks,” explains Danielle Andrews, an agent at Realty ONE Group.
And with the recently raised SALT deduction, that could mean huge savings, explains Colton Pace, founder and CEO of Ownwell.
“This allows homebuyers and owners who itemize to deduct $25,000 to $30,000 more in property and state income taxes,” he says. “Thus, buying before Dec. 31 can be a generous tax deduction if you’re already planning to itemize and file as a single person or married separately.”
And those who close in December are poised to benefit the most, because of the compounding effects of timing and tax policy. “At closing, buyers often reimburse sellers a generous amount for prepaid property taxes shown on a settlement sheet. This year, with the expanded SALT deduction ... December closings [are] particularly valuable for maximizing your tax benefits,” he explains. In other words, the closer to year-end you close, the more of that deductible amount shifts to you.
Buyers may also deduct mortgage interest paid between closing and Dec. 31, offering a powerful tax savings since a higher percentage of your mortgage payment goes toward interest at the start of your loan.
IRA withdrawals for first-time buyers
For first-time buyers struggling to pull together a down payment, retirement savings might offer a lifeline—but it comes with strict rules and a ticking clock.
The IRS allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $10,000 from a Roth IRA without facing the usual 10% early withdrawal penalty. That makes it one of the few penalty-free ways to tap into long-term savings for a home purchase—but timing is everything.
To take full advantage, the withdrawal and the home purchase must both occur in the same tax year, so buyers hoping to make a move before Dec. 31 need to act fast and pull the funds, make an offer, and close all before the year ends.
Still, this strategy should be used carefully. “Although technically it is possible to draw from an IRA or 401(k) for a down payment, it’s
How Fall Buyers Can Use Year-End to Their Advantage for a Better Deal
Article courtesy of Realtor.com
a double-edged sword,” says Fred Loguidice, founder of Sell My House Fast Guys. “This is something that should only ever be a last option.
“You’re taking money from your retirement accounts, which could have grown several times over the years due to compound interest,” he explains.
But there are moments when this move makes financial sense. “It can also be worthwhile if accessing those funds helps you avoid taking on high-interest debt or missing the window to secure a home that aligns with your long-term goals,” says Andrews.
Others point to alternative options within retirement plans. “With a traditional IRA, first-time buyers can withdraw up to $10,000 penalty-free for a home purchase,” says Leah Robinson-Christian, an agent at Engel & Völkers Atlanta. “With a 401(k), some employers allow loans against the account, but repayment terms vary, and it reduces your retirement growth.”
So if you’re planning to use retirement savings, you’ll need to move quickly and act decisively. For those who can make it work, it may unlock the front door to homeownership just in time to ring in the new year.
Closing cost incentives from lenders
It’s not just sellers who want to wrap things up before Dec. 31; lenders have their own reasons to close deals fast. Many financial institutions set year-end volume targets, and that can translate into savings for fall buyers who know to ask. Some lenders even roll out seasonal
promotions in the final quarter of the year that can include discounted appraisal or underwriting fees, temporary rate buydowns, or waived processing or application fees.
But they’re not always advertised. Fall buyers should make it a point to ask lenders directly whether any year-end incentives are on the table—and compare offers across multiple institutions. Even small discounts can make a noticeable difference at the closing table.
Builders are still offering fall deals
If you’re considering a newly built home, fall might be one of the best times to make your move. Builders are eager to offload standing inventory before the end of the year, and many are offering aggressive incentives to do it.
In fact, 66% of homebuilders reported using incentives like mortgage rate buydowns and discounts in August—the highest share in at least five years—according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. That’s up from 62% in July, and a clear sign that sluggish buyer traffic is prompting more generous offers.
And there’s another signal the timing could be right: The price premium for new homes over existing homes dropped to a record low of just 7.8% in the second quarter of 2025, according to the Realtor.com New Construction Quarterly Report. With median new-home prices holding steady at $450,797 and existing-home prices rising 2.4% to $418,300, the gap between the two is now the narrowest it’s ever been.
How Fall Buyers Can Use Year-End to Their Advantage for a Better Deal
Article courtesy of Realtor.com
For fall buyers, that means it’s possible to get the convenience and freshness of new construction without paying the massive markup that once defined the category.
Think like a CFO to maximize your year-end advantage
For many buyers, especially first-timers navigating high prices and elevated mortgage rates, the goal isn’t just to find the right home—it’s to make the numbers work. Fall offers a unique opportunity to do so, but it will mean thinking like a CFO.
While purchase price is important, it’s only one part of an overall deal. Concessions, credits, and repairs can knock off thousands of dollars, but they’re only offered if you ask. The same is true for tax incentives, which can offer powerful savings if—and only if—you close the deal before year-end.
Lastly, it may be worth expanding your horizons and searching for opportunities where you haven’t looked before. Lenders and home builders may prove to be the greatest allies in your search by connecting you with promotional pricing.

I have been an active REALTOR serving Madison, St. Clair, Macoupin, and Monroe counties since 2017. My goal is to protect your best interests by advocating tirelessly on your behalf, whether buying or selling. Real estate transactions can be stressful, but they don't have to be. I will work to lower your stress and make the experience as pleasurable as possible.
Having lived in the Metro-East for over 30 years, I am passionate about the area and love sharing my local knowledge of the communities, neighborhoods, schools, and entertainment with you. My favorite part of my job is getting to know buyers and their families to help them find the perfect place to call home. Watching them fall in love with a home and seeing their excitement never gets old.
My five adult children and husband Tim continue to be my biggest blessing in life. When I am not hanging out with them, you can find me cheering on my favorite baseball team, the Cardinals, picking up goodies at farmers' markets, traveling or spending time with friends. I'm also passionate about volunteering weekly at the Glen-Ed food pantry.

I was born in Wisconsin and lived my high school and college years in Kentucky. Since getting married 22+ years ago, my active-duty husband and I have moved all over the country. We moved to O'Fallon in 2015, and while the adventures have been amazing, we are excited to settle here in Illinois and put down roots. We felt like we were welcomed into this community faster than in any other place we have lived. It is the small-town feel with all the benefits of a larger city. The people of the area genuinely made us feel at home.
Sometimes I feel like I didn't choose real estate - real estate chose me. My love for homes began with my Dad. He was a draftsman who designed and built both of our family homes. I would watch him design houses and listen to him talk about where things would go and what the symbols meant. I was fascinated! Riding on the bus as a kid, I would point out houses and say, "My Dad designed that house." Now, I'm the mom driving around and saying, "I sold that house."
Another reason I chose real estate six years ago is that it offered flexibility for my family life and volunteer work and a thorough understanding of how hard it can be to relocate, whether across the street or the country. Seeing the "ah ha" moments when they find THE house or knowing they are moving on to the next place with a sense of completion after selling their current home. Being a part of that momentous moment is special.
My clients are the best, and I'm grateful for their trust and help in growing my business by referring me to their friends and family. My experience as a military spouse prepared me to serve others uniquely throughout O'Fallon, Belleville, Fairview Heights, Swansea, Mascoutah, Columbia, and Collinsville.
I am thankful for my family. They are my joy. They have supported me as my real estate business has grown. My high school sweetheart and I share three grown children. My son followed his Dad's example, serving in the military. And my twin daughters are excelling at SWIC. When I'm not volunteering in the Scott Spouses Club, church, or BSA Troop 94, you can find me at the bowling alley, quilting, or finding a great place for photography. I also love reading, painting with watercolors, and doing yoga.

I've been in the real estate business for two years. My clients are always surprised at how much I know about their homes and neighborhood. I serve all the Metro-East markets and enjoy helping my clients pursue their dreams of home ownership and selling their homes.
Since I was little, I've always been obsessed with houses, so real estate was always at the back of my mind. After my daughter was old enough to start school, I finally turned my dream into a realty reality.
I'm a huge believer that buying or selling your home is an emotional process—and it's important to me that my clients feel comfortable with me as we go through this together. I adore working with people from all different backgrounds and personality types. I can mesh well with just about anyone. I want them to feel like they're getting the best possible service from someone who knows the market inside and out, cares deeply about helping them find their dream home or sell theirs for top dollar and will be there for them every step of the way. Clients describe me as hardworking, attentive, caring and funny.
I love spending time with my family when I'm not working on real estate deals. My husband and I have been married for 12 years. We have a 7-year-old daughter and a Pitbull, Josie.

Reputable, honest, and trustworthy are the qualities you want and need in a Real Estate Agent. I have many years of successful experience marketing, negotiating, buying, and selling. I will always represent you in the most professional way. I'm certified in Real Estate Negotiations (RENE), I work well with other agents and understand the real estate transaction from offer to close. Real Estate Agents wear many hats so choose an agent who works for you!
As a seller's agent, I will develop a marketing plan to list your home for the highest possible market value that will attract the most buyers. As a buyer's agent, I will find you the home of your dreams while representing you with the latest market data allowing you to walk away from the closing with instant equity.
A little about me; I started my career in the military where I served for 10 years. I'm your Military Relocation Pro! I have worked as a marketing manager and primarily as a supply chain manager. I have left all that behind and focus entirely on real estate now.
In my spare time, Heather and I like to take simple trips and enjoy our time off. I have twin daughters that are now off to college and excited about starting their lives.
I'm positive this well-rounded career, coupled with my experience, will help you whether you are selling or buying.

As a military spouse, I have experienced several significant milestones and challenges, such as navigating multiple deployments and relocations. This first-hand experience helped me develop empathy and the ability to understand the emotional and practical challenges my clients may be facing during a real estate transaction whether it may be buying, selling or trying to do both at the same time.
I have plenty of experience adhering to strict timelines while paying attention to detail, which is an invaluable asset to my clients who are looking for someone to help them navigate real estate transitions and all the related little details that we never think to ask about or put on the to-do list. My experience has allowed me the opportunity to gain skills that translate into adaptability, networking, attention to detail, and empathy.
I became an agent with Coldwell Banker Brown because I liked the people and the reputation they have. Since the beginning of Coldwell Banker the company has operated on the principles of honesty, integrity, and service.
I love helping people, getting to know more about the community I am in and sharing that knowledge to benefit others. I want to help you reach your goals and I can provide all the tools that we will need to sell your current property or find you a new home.
Outside of working as an agent, I have a wonderful husband who thinks he is the funniest person he knows, a very independent daughter who loves animals and is a maker of artsy things. We have a cat that acts like an angry teenager, a snake that hides all day long, and two dogs that are way too smart for their own good. My hobbies include, exploring new areas, backpacking (the hardcore kind that everyone seems to hate), reading and cooking interesting foods from other cultures!

With family going back four generations in Belleville, Smithton area, I know the Metro East from St. Clair to Madison and Monroe counties like the back of my hand and help clients in every one of those areas. I went to high school here and graduated from SIUE before meeting my wife and moving away.
My favorite part of real estate is educating first-time home buyers, catching up with repeat clients and assisting those downsizing. I explain topics in an easily digestible manner so that my clients can make informed decisions.
My experience in insurance sparked my interest in real estate as I was intrigued by the valuation process when building insurance quotes for people. I am still fascinated with valuations and have completed a certification class to become a licensed Real Estate Appraiser. Although, I will continue to work as a Realtor because I love working with people. I never meet a stranger and look forward to making new relationships through real estate.
I cherish the relationship that I have with my wife above all else. For the last 20+ years, her career has taken us on a journey across the US. This experience helps me understand the nuances and stressors of moving into a new house and relocating to a new community. With her retirement, we have recently moved back and plan to stay here. One of the things I love, in addition to the true Midwestern mentality, is the small community gatherings, picnics, and community involvement that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
