Looking Ahead

Thinking of selling? Act quickly.
Prices typically peak in August. Listing now positions you to capture strong summer demand while inventory remains limited versus past years.

Buying this fall?
Based on historical trends, expect more listings through September, giving you more options—but with demand still high, be ready to move quickly when the right home hits.

Bottom line: Union County’s Real Estate market is still competitive, but strategic buyers and sellers can win big right now. If you’re considering a move, I’ll help you navigate both the numbers and the nuances.
