Countdown to 2026: Why Buyers Are Making Their Move Now

As 2025 winds down, many homebuyers aren’t waiting for the new year to make their move. They’re acting now. Between financial advantages, tax incentives, and the emotional payoff of stepping into a new home before the calendar flips, there’s real value in closing before year-end.

Take Advantage of Year-End Tax Benefits

Buying a home before December 31 can offer significant tax advantages. Homeowners may be eligible to deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and certain closing costs when filing their returns. That means locking in your home before the new year could give you a head start on savings when tax season rolls around.

Lock in Financial Stability Before Rates Shift

Interest rates and market conditions are always in motion. By purchasing now, buyers can lock in today’s mortgage rates and home prices instead of gambling on what 2026 may bring. It’s a move that offers peace of mind and predictable payments, especially as economic forecasts point toward continued market changes.

Start the New Year in Your New Home

Beyond the numbers, there’s something special about beginning a new year in a new space. It’s a fresh start — decorating for the holidays, hosting loved ones, and creating new memories under your own roof. That sense of stability and accomplishment is priceless, and it’s one of the biggest reasons buyers are choosing to close before 2026.
