Did you see? U.S. home prices just hit a new record—almost $400K for the average house! But here’s the twist: buyers aren’t rushing in like before. There are more homes to pick from, and sellers are starting to budge on price. If you’re house-hunting, this could be your moment to negotiate. High prices and mortgage rates are keeping some folks on the sidelines, but if you’re ready, you’ve got more power than you did a year ago. #housingmarket #realestate #homebuying
