If you’ve been wanting to move into a new home before the end of the year, you’re right on time

According to Realtor.com, the week of October 12–18, 2025, is projected to be the best week of the year for homebuyers thanks to a unique mix of higher inventory, fewer competing buyers, and prices trending below summer peaks.

And while that’s great news for anyone in the market, it’s especially good news if you’re considering new construction.

Why Mid-October Matters

The housing market tends to shift in the fall. After a busy summer, things cool down, and that’s when opportunity opens up.

For new construction, this often means:

• More Quick Move-In Homes ready for closing before the holidays
• Less competition for available homes
• Seasonal builder incentives designed to help you save

It’s a short but powerful window that can give buyers more choices, more leverage, and more time to make confident decisions.

More Homes to Choose From

While resale inventory fluctuates, builders like Berks Homes often have move-in-ready homes available this time of year.

That means you can skip the construction timeline and still enjoy all the benefits of a brand-new home, from energy efficiency and modern layouts to fresh finishes that reflect your style.

If you’ve been waiting for the right mix of timing, pricing, and selection, fall is it.

Better Value, Less Stress

Realtor.com’s data shows that buyers can save an average of $15,000 on a median-priced home during this week compared to peak summer months.

Add in builder incentives (like our own!), and those savings can go even further. At Berks Homes, we’re offering limited-time fall incentives on select Quick Move-In Homes, giving buyers flexibility to use those funds toward closing costs or interest rate reductions.

And unlike resale, new construction means:

• No bidding wars
• No inspection surprises
• No renovation costs waiting around the corner
• Just a smooth path to a brand-new home.
