russellolson+FollowWhy Homebuilders Are Hitting PauseHeads up if you’re house hunting: mortgage rates are stuck near 7%, and even the pros are waving red flags. Builders are backing off—delaying projects and slashing prices—because buyers just aren’t biting. If you’re waiting for a price drop, you might finally get your wish, but don’t expect a flood of new homes. The takeaway? The housing market is cooling fast, so it could be a good time to negotiate, but brace for fewer choices. #RealEstate #HousingMarket #RealEstateTips45Share
Denise Kemp+FollowWhat If Home Prices Dropped 10%?Ever wondered what would happen if home prices took a 10% dip? It sounds like a win for first-time buyers, but it’s not all sunshine. If your house is your biggest asset, a price drop could make you feel less rich—and you might spend less on fun stuff. Banks could get picky about loans, and builders might hit pause on new homes. Plus, cities could collect less in property taxes, which means fewer upgrades to parks and schools. So, cheaper homes? Maybe. But it’s a mixed bag for everyone else. #RealEstate #housingmarket #moneymoves2233Share
