Buying a home is one of life’s biggest milestones — whether it’s your first purchase or you’ve been through the process before. And while it’s exciting, it can also feel overwhelming, with mortgages, surveys, negotiations and legal work all pulling you in different directions 😅

If you’re aiming to make your move in the first half of 2026, now is the perfect moment to start preparing. As the evenings draw in and the pace naturally slows, the homeowners who get ahead now are the ones who enjoy the smoothest, quickest, and most profitable moves come spring 🌿✨
