Winter often slows deals, but for those prepared, it can also bring opportunity.
For Buyers: Go in With Eyes Open
- Understand seasonal shifts in demand and negotiation posture.
- Factor in longer inspection or financing periods, as schedules slow.
- Ask your attorney to review all contingencies and allow enough buffer.
For Sellers & Investors: Move With Strategy
- Prepare detailed disclosure statements to avoid surprises at closing.
- Ensure your title is clear and encumbered properties are handled early.
- Walk through your investment contracts and legal structures now so closings in early 2026 aren’t rushed.
