🏡 Market Update: What We’re Seeing Right Now
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to buy a home, here’s what the market is telling us:
✅ More homes are hitting the market, giving buyers more options and a little more negotiating power than we’ve seen in recent years. Inventory is improving in many markets.
✅ Home prices are still holding relatively steady, but we’re seeing more price reductions and sellers becoming more realistic with pricing.
✅ Mortgage rates continue to hover in the mid-6% range. While not the ultra-low rates we saw a few years ago, today’s rates are much closer to historical norms than many people realize.
âś… Many buyers are sitting on the sidelines waiting for rates to drop. The challenge? When rates do improve, competition often increases, which can drive prices back up.
💡 My advice: Don’t try to time the market perfectly. Focus on whether the payment fits your budget and whether homeownership aligns with your goals. You can refinance a rate later, but you can’t go back and buy yesterday’s home at yesterday’s price.
