rayHere is the January pattern I see every year: 1️⃣ Serious buyers move first. While everyone else waits for spring, motivated buyers tour now — and quietly get the best options before competition spikes. 2️⃣ Sellers are more open to negotiation. January sellers usually have real timelines, not guesswork. That creates flexibility you won’t see in March or April. 3️⃣ Low competition = high leverage. Fewer buyers in the market means fewer offers — and that gives early movers the advantage on price, terms, and timing. Once you understand this pattern, you stop waiting for the right time and start using the market to your benefit.
