More Than Just a Turkey: Why We’re Grateful for

Everyone talks about the food on Thanksgiving, but let’s be honest, the real MVP of the holiday is the venue.

Whether you hosted 20 people in a dining room that felt a little too cozy, or you traveled to a relative’s house and found yourself dreaming of a bigger kitchen, Thanksgiving has a way of highlighting exactly what we love (and maybe what we’ve outgrown) about our current living situations.

The "Leftovers" You Don't Want In the real estate world, late November is an interesting time. While the market typically quiets down, the inventory that remains is often serious. These aren't "market leftovers", they’re opportunities.

  • For Sellers: Buyers looking right now aren't window shoppers. They are motivated, often needing to move before the New Year. Your home could be the solution to their problem.

  • For Buyers: If you realized this Thursday that your current space just doesn't fit your family's needs anymore, you don't have to wait for the "spring rush." In fact, waiting often means more competition.

Imagine next Thanksgiving. A double oven? A finished basement for the kids? A guest suite for the in-laws? The timeline to make that happen starts now.

Don't let your real estate dreams get put on the back burner. Whether you need to upsize for the family or downsize for a simpler life, the Leighton Team is here to help you navigate the holiday market. Contact us today to discuss your timeline.

Let’s get you into a home you’re truly grateful for by next November.
