"If rates are still above 6%, why aren't home prices falling?"

One reason is inventory. PNC Economics reports that housing supply remains relatively tight, which continues to support home prices. National home prices were up 1.5% from a year ago as of June.

Every market is different, but it's a good reminder that waiting for dramatic price drops may not be the strategy many buyers hope for.

If you'd like to discuss the market and your home financing options, feel free to reach out. (630) 201-1395
