That means your move has to be strategic: pick mission-driven growth zones, pick structural value (not just pretty finishes), and prepare to either buy or sell with intention.
If you’re selling, remember: meeting the 2-of-5-year home-use test lets you exclude up to $250K/$500K of gain. IRS+1
If you’re buying, select neighborhoods where infrastructure, community growth, and planned economic investment align. Don’t just follow hype—lead with value.

Insider tip:
For sellers: if you list just after the holidays (January-February) you may miss a wave of buyers looking in December. So prepping now (photos, declutter, pricing strategy) gives you a jump-start.

For buyers: ask your agent about “off-market” inventory—homes that may be pre-listed in December but pulled for tax/holiday reasons. Getting your name in the hat early means less competition.
