When does the fall real estate window close?

The fall real estate window generally closes as the holiday season approaches and both buyers and sellers pull back until after the new year, though the exact timing shifts from year to year rather than landing on one fixed date. Waiting too long into that stretch can mean a listing sits through a genuinely slower period before spring activity picks back up.
