October 2025 vs 2024 Market Snapshot

Buyers

Sales jumped and inventory is high. You’ve got options—negotiate on condition, terms, and closing costs.

Sellers

More listings + longer days means pricing to the last 30–60 days and showing up turnkey matters more than ever.

Investors

Condo MSI ~10.8 = leverage. Underwrite HOA/assessments hard and aim for cashflow-first opportunities.
