By Public Technologies
  • Redfin’s Oct. 27, 2026, analysis identifies November and December as peak homebuying discount periods in seven U.S. metros.
  • Early November typically offers the best bargains in Milwaukee, Riverside, California, and Tampa, Florida.
  • Mid-December is the discount sweet spot in Detroit and three South Florida metros: Fort Lauderdale, Miami and West Palm Beach.
  • U.S. home sellers outnumber buyers by 63%, the largest imbalance in records dating to 2013, potentially strengthening seasonal bargaining power.
  • Late-year buyers face fewer fresh listings but less competition, while sellers with long-listed properties may be more willing to negotiate.
