The 3 Housing Market Questions Everyone’s Asking This Season

✨ The 3 Housing Market Questions Everyone’s Asking This Season ✨

It never fails—holiday parties, girls’ nights, family dinners… everyone wants the real estate scoop. And honestly? I love it. Here are the three questions I keep getting and the straight answers you can actually trust:

1️⃣ “Is there even anything out there to buy?”

YES. A lot more than in the last few years.
Inventory has been rising, and we’ve now had over 1 MILLION homes on the market for six months straight — the first time since 2019.

Buyers = more options.
Sellers = more places to move next.

If you stopped looking last year because nothing fit… it might be time to jump back in.

2️⃣ “Will I ever be able to afford a home?”

Affordability is finally moving in the right direction. 

✔️ Mortgage rates are easing
✔️ Home price growth is slowing
✔️ Monthly payments are trending DOWN

For many buyers, the numbers are starting to make sense again — and that’s a big shift.

3️⃣ “Should I wait for prices to crash?”

Short answer? No.
The market isn’t set up for a crash. Inventory is rising, but not nearly enough to send prices falling nationally. Homeowners have strong equity and lending is solid — not 2008 vibes at all.

Most experts expect modest price growth, not declines.
Trying to “time the market” almost always backfires.
Time IN the market beats timing the market.
