November: Give Thanks & Express Your Gratitude🦃

November 2025 Real Estate Update

November is a time to reflect on what truly matters—gratitude and connection. 

At Thanksgiving, we’re reminded of the importance of appreciating the people and moments that make our work meaningful. 

Here are three customer appreciation ideas for your real estate business this November:

Send Handwritten Notes of Appreciation 📬
Take a moment to write and mail a personalized thank-you note to each client. In our digital world, a handwritten message stands out and feels truly heartfelt.

Volunteer at a Food Pantry🥫
Gather your team and dedicate an afternoon to serving at a local food pantry. By giving back to the community, you demonstrate to clients that your business is dedicated to fostering a stronger, more compassionate neighborhood.

Gift an AgentUp Custom House Portrait 🖼️
Surprise your special clients with a custom house portrait from AgentUp. These personalized artworks celebrate milestones and remind clients of your care well beyond the transaction.

As we gather around tables with family and friends, we’re reminded that the heart of real estate is not just about houses, but about the people who make them homes. 

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your story.

Here are three real estate trends to watch for in November 2025:

Interest Rate Cut
The Federal Reserve has reduced its benchmark rate for the second time this year, now sitting between 3.75% and 4%. Lenders will soon respond, with mortgage interest rates possibly dipping into the 5% range.

Expected Sales Volume
Home sales are projected to reach about 4.07 million units nationwide this year, representing only a slight increase from 2024. This November, volume remains steady but subdued, with inventory rising moderately.

Increasing Buyer Activity in Lower Price Ranges
More buyers are returning to the market, especially in affordable and mid-tier home segments.

Please note that these trends reflect national averages. Conditions in your local market could vary.
