Holiday Season Offers Best Homebuying Deals in Seven US Metros, Redfin Says
  • Rocket's Redfin and Home Economics analysis, published Oct. 27, 2026, identifies late-year homebuying discounts in seven U.S. metros.
  • Early November typically offers the best deals in Milwaukee, Riverside and Tampa; Detroit and three South Florida metros peak in mid-December.
  • U.S. home sellers outnumber buyers by 63%, the largest imbalance in Redfin records dating to 2013.
  • Miami has more than twice as many sellers as buyers; Milwaukee remains one of just five U.S. seller's markets.
  • Holiday buyers face fewer fresh listings but less competition, giving them greater negotiating leverage with sellers seeking year-end deals.
