Aaron Ballard+FollowWhy Your Neighbors Aren’t Moving AnymoreEver wonder why those 'For Sale' signs barely pop up in your neighborhood? Blame the 'lock-in effect.' Lots of homeowners snagged super-low mortgage rates a few years back, so now they’re sticking with what they’ve got—even if their house doesn’t fit anymore. That means fewer homes for sale, higher prices, and first-time buyers facing slim pickings. If you’re house hunting, patience and flexibility are your best friends until more people decide to move. #RealEstate #housingmarket #mortgagerates00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowForeclosures Are Back—What It Means for YouHeard the housing market is getting rocky? Foreclosures just jumped 19% in a month, which means more folks are struggling to keep up with their mortgages as rates and bills climb. It’s not a 2008-style crash, but more like a slow squeeze—especially for those who bought at peak prices. If you’re house hunting, keep an eye out for deals, but don’t expect a fire sale. For owners, now’s the time to check your budget and talk to your lender if things get tight. #RealEstate #housingmarket #foreclosure20Share
Denise Kemp+FollowCould Your Home Value Really Drop 50%?Heard the buzz about a housing crash worse than 2008?

Ask yourself—could you handle a dip in value or higher rates? Stay nimble, build a cash cushion, and remember: not every market moves the same. No need to panic, but don’t bet the house, either! #RealEstate #HousingMarket #MoneyTips02Share
Shelly Powell+FollowWhy Your Realtor Friend Is Stressed OutThinking about moving? You’re not alone in feeling stuck. Home sales just hit a 13-year low, so real estate agents are hustling harder than ever, but deals are few and far between. Prices are still sky-high, but hardly anyone’s buying or selling, which means buyers can’t catch a break and sellers are nervous to list. If you’re waiting for a housing market “crash,” experts say it’s more like a slow freeze—so patience (and maybe a side hustle) is key for now. #RealEstate #HousingMarket #MoneyTips00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowWhy Homeowners Aren’t Budging—Even With Lower RatesThinking about house hunting now that mortgage rates have dipped? Don’t get too excited—most homeowners are still glued to their current digs. Even with cheaper loans, people are holding onto their low-rate mortgages and comfy routines, so there’s barely anything new to buy. The result? Buyers are stuck fighting over a handful of listings, and prices aren’t really dropping. Until moving feels like a true upgrade, expect this housing standoff to stick around. #RealEstate #housingmarket #mortgagerates00Share
russellolson+FollowWhy Boomers Aren’t Leaving Their Big HousesEver wonder why those big family homes in your neighborhood aren’t hitting the market?

Matthew Jackson+FollowIs 2026 the Year to Buy Your First Home?Thinking about buying your first place? 2026 could be your year! With mortgage rates dropping and fewer bidding wars, first-time buyers are expected to lead the charge. The market’s looking more like a friendly open house than a cutthroat auction, especially up north where prices are rising faster than in London. If you’re ready to move, keep an eye out for deals and don’t rush—there might be more wiggle room on price than last year. #RealEstate #housingmarket #firsttimebuyer00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowBoston real estate’s big thaw: What’s next?Greater Boston’s real estate freeze is finally breaking, and it’s changing how people buy and sell homes. The days of waiting for ultra-low mortgage rates are over—buyers and sellers are moving forward, even if rates stay around 6%. But here’s the catch: starter homes have nearly vanished, and the middle class faces steep barriers. Creative deals, family help, and lightning-fast offers are now the norm. Meanwhile, new construction is slowing, so don’t expect a flood of new listings. Are you seeing these shifts in your neighborhood? How are you adapting to this new normal? #RealEstate #BostonRealEstate #HousingMarket00Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWhy New Homes Are Suddenly CheaperEver dream of a new home but the price tag made you spill your coffee? Lennar just dropped their prices by 10%—that’s about $44K off last year’s sticker! But don’t get too excited: builders are cutting corners to keep costs down, and the homes might not be as sturdy as you’d hope. With fewer buyers biting due to high rates, the market’s basically on a diet. Maybe it’s time for the housing industry to get creative, not just cheaper. #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate00Share
