randerson+FollowWill Home Buying Get Easier in 2025?Thinking about buying a house soon? Goldman Sachs says don’t expect a miracle in 2025—mortgage rates are likely to stay high, so those monthly payments won’t get much friendlier. The good news: even if there’s political drama over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it probably won’t mess with rates for most buyers. And while fewer immigrants might mean fewer construction workers, there’s already a slowdown in building, so it won’t make homes scarcer overnight. In short: keep saving, and don’t hold your breath for a big price drop! #HousingMarket #HomeBuying #MortgageRates #RealEstate00Share
