National housing headlines don't always tell the whole story.
According to Zillow Research, starter-home inventory increased 4.5% year over year in June, while luxury-home inventory
declined 5.2%.

That could mean more options for some buyers searching at lower price points. Zillow also found that price cuts were more
common among starter homes, with 25% of listings receiving a price cut in June.

Market conditions can vary significantly by location, so what's happening nationally may look very different in your area.

Starter homes are defined by Zillow as homes in the 5th–35th percentile of home values in a given region. Market conditions vary by location and are subject to change.

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.

Some companies measure success by production. We believe success is bigger than that. It's the doors opened. The opportunities created. The communities served. The lives changed through homeownership.

Qualified buyers may have access to competitive financing options with lower down payments than many expect, and Movement’s in-house underwriting allows for a fast, predictable process to get you in your home without any hiccups.
