Why Fall Feels a Lot Like Spring in Real Estate Right Now

Something unexpected is happening in real estate right now. Across the country, agents are seeing a burst of buyer activity that feels more like April than October, and Richmond is no exception. This is one of the most active fall markets that I have ever seen!

With mortgage rates easing to around 6.3%, more buyers are stepping off the sidelines and motivated sellers are listing earlier than usual. Locally, homes in areas like Midlothian, Mechanicsville, and the Fan are moving quickly when they’re well priced and show ready. We’re also seeing more homeowners test the market before the holidays, hoping to take advantage of the renewed energy and lower competition before spring.

If this momentum continues, Richmond could see an early start to the 2026 spring market!
