End-of-year real estate data always deserves a cautious interpretation. With
low inventory and a limited number of sales in December, a few outliers can
easily skew the numbers and make things look more dramatic than they really
are.

Putting 2025 in context, what stands out most is how unremarkable the year
turned out to be. Despite all the ups and downs that kept people on edge, the
market behaved in a surprisingly steady and orderly way.

Prices in PhinneyWood held firm, activity followed the familiar seasonal pattern, and the year wrapped up without any major disruptions.

One important factor to keep in mind is pent-up demand. When uncertainty
rises, buyers may temporarily step back, but that demand doesn't disappear
- it just waits. And historically, it doesn't wait forever. If past patterns hold,
we'll likely see the market "reset" in January, with more meaningful activity
returning in the early part of the year.

If you need to make a move in early 2026, now is the ideal time to prepare.
Positioning yourself ahead of the next seasonal shift can make a meaningful
