Sellers are pulling their homes off the market faster than we’ve seen in years—mostly because buyers aren’t biting at high prices. If you’re house hunting, you might feel like you finally have some leverage, but sellers (especially those who bought during the pandemic) aren’t ready to play ball. In some cities, homes are just sitting... and sitting. Pro tip: patience might pay off as this standoff cools prices in certain spots. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips01Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowWhy So Many Homes Are Suddenly Off the MarketEver noticed fewer 'For Sale' signs lately?

With high mortgage rates scaring off buyers, sellers are digging in and holding out for top dollar. If you’re house hunting, expect slim pickings and stubborn prices for now. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTalks20Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWhy New Homes Are Suddenly Cheaper Than Old OnesThinking about buying a house? Here’s a twist: in the South and West, brand-new homes are now going for less per square foot than older ones. Builders are eager to sell, so they’re slashing prices and offering perks like lower mortgage rates and smaller down payments. If you’re cool with waiting for construction, you could score a custom home for less—and skip paying for someone else’s outdated kitchen. It’s a rare moment where new beats old on price! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips75Share

randerson+FollowMortgage Rates: Is Now the Time to Refi?Thinking about buying a home or refinancing? Mortgage rates have dropped a bit since the inflation rollercoaster, with 30-year loans now averaging 5.99%. That’s not 2020-level cheap, but it’s way better than last year.

With sky-high prices and more homes to choose from, buyers are getting picky and walking away if the math doesn’t add up. Sellers still want top dollar, but buyers aren’t having it. If you’re house hunting, remember: you’ve got options, so don’t settle! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips00Share
Adam Boyer+FollowShould you trust a home inspector’s sales pitch?A home inspector offering a 50% discount on a metal roof install—right after checking your (still solid) shingle roof—should make anyone pause. Inspectors are supposed to be neutral, not salespeople. When they push upgrades through their own company, it’s a clear conflict of interest. Unless your current roof is showing real signs of trouble, a discounted upgrade isn’t automatically a smart move. Get a second opinion from an independent roofer, check your warranties, and don’t let urgency or a “deal” pressure you. Would you trust this kind of offer, or walk away? #Home #HomeBuying #Roofing00Share
