Housing always comes down to one thing: the payment.
Lower rates help buyers breathe a little, but they also increase buying power, which can push prices up in certain markets.
What we’re seeing now is a shift toward balance.
Sellers still hold value, buyers gain a little room, and neither side is getting squeezed the way they have been these last few years.
Economists expect prices to rise only slightly, inventory to increase, and the overall pace to feel more even.
That’s healthier.
That’s calmer.
That’s closer to normal.
Inventory adds balance
Rates shape payments
Buyers gain power
If you ever want to understand how these changes affect your next move, I’m always open to the conversation.
