The best part of a day like today isn't the plans. It's not having any. Happy Labor Day. You earned it.

You've been lied to about the housing market. Here's what the data actually shows. 👇

Everyone keeps saying now is the worst time to buy. But the numbers tell a completely different story.

"There's nothing in my price range."
Entry-level home inventory rose 4.5% year over year in June while luxury inventory fell 5.2%. More affordable homes are available right now — and fewer people are competing for them. Source : July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ New Zillow® data "Sellers are overpriced and won't budge."

Asking prices have dropped for nine consecutive months nationally. One in four sellers cut their price in June before a buyer even made an offer. Sellers are more open to negotiating on price, closing costs, and terms than they've been in years — and Movement offers buydown options that sellers can fund as part of the deal to lower your payment early on.

"I'll lose to investors every time."
Large corporate investors have largely stepped back after new federal rules restricted them from buying existing housing stock. Today 96% of investor-owned single-family homes belong to small individual investors. The playing field has shifted in your favor. Source: BatchData, Q2 2025 Investor Pulse.

"Rates make it unaffordable."
Household incomes grew 4.6% last year while the median monthly mortgage payment actually fell slightly. A mortgage takes up a smaller share of take-home pay than it did a year ago. And with down payment assistance available, you may not need as much saved as you think.

Worried you can’t afford to buy a home? Before you decide, take a look at what you’re already spending on rent. You might be closer to homeownership than you think. Let's see what your options look like.

Getting approved for a certain amount doesn't mean you have to spend it.

Before you start house hunting, think about the monthly payment that feels comfortable for your budget. That includes more than just principal and interest. Property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, utilities, and everyday life all factor into the bigger picture.

Knowing your comfort zone upfront can help you shop with confidence and avoid stretching your finances too thin.

Before you talk yourself out of homeownership, let’s talk. You may have more options than you think.

Many prospective buyers assume they won't qualify because of factors like student loans, credit concerns, limited savings, or past financial challenges.

The reality is that every buyer's situation is unique. Having one or more of these factors doesn't necessarily mean homeownership isn't an option.

One way to better understand your options is to have a conversation with our team and review your individual circumstances.

You may learn more about the mortgage options available to you and the steps that could help you prepare for homeownership.
