🧠 Buyer FAQs

Q: Are there fewer homes listed in November?
Yes, but the ones listed are often serious sellers, and inventory still turns over weekly—especially in towns like Hempfield and Trafford.

Q: Can I close before the holidays?
If you’re pre-approved, you could close in 30–40 days. That means you could be in your new home by Christmas.

Q: Is it risky to move in the winter?
Not at all. With proper planning and a solid agent (hi 👋), we’ll make the process smooth—snow boots optional.
