2020 and 2026 are two VERY different homebuying environments.
Rates. Buyer age. Down payments. Competition. Inventory.
A lot has changed.
But that doesn't mean you should compare today's market to what buyers experienced six years ago.
Different market. Different strategy. Same goal: homeownership.
