Planning to Sell After the Holidays? Now Is the Time to Contact Jeff Duneske.

Planning to Sell After the Holidays? Now Is the Time to Contact Jeff Duneske

As the holiday season approaches, many Metro Detroit homeowners begin thinking about making a move in the new year. If selling your home is on your 2026 list, there is one essential truth to remember:

Now is the time to start planning, not in January.

With mortgage rates easing and buyer demand preparing to surge, early 2026 is positioned to be one of the strongest starts we have seen in recent seasons.

Why Early Planning Matters for Northville, Novi, South Lyon and Plymouth Sellers

When mortgage rates soften, more buyers re enter the market. Competition increases quickly, and homeowners who prepare before the rush gain a significant advantage. Starting early sets the stage for a smooth and successful launch.

How Early Planning Sets You Up for Success

By connecting now, you can:

• Build a custom pre listing plan tailored to your goals

• Identify simple updates that increase your home’s value

• Secure photography and staging before vendors book up

• Position your listing to capture early 2026 buyer demand

Sellers who take these steps in November and December enter the market prepared, while others are still trying to catch up.

What to Expect from the Early 2026 Market in Metro Detroit

Across Northville, Novi, South Lyon and Plymouth, buyer activity is expected to rise sharply as confidence returns and mortgage rates continue to improve. Many homeowners are still waiting on the sidelines, leading to continued low inventory.

This creates a significant advantage for sellers who launch early in the year.

The Benefits of Listing Early in 2026

• Less competition from other sellers

• More motivated buyers

• Stronger showing activity

• A better chance of favorable terms and multiple offers

Well prepared homes will stand out and capture the attention of buyers eager to act before spring activity increases.

A Smooth Move Begins with a Clear Plan

Starting the conversation early does not mean you need to list immediately. It simply gives you space to make confident decisions and avoid the stress that comes with last minute planning.

• Your current home value

• A timeline that fits your life

• A strategy designed to help you secure the best possible result
