The real estate market has changed.
Part of it is the typical real estate cycle. Late summer, fall the activity slows down. On top fo that we have a mid-term election this year. Every time that happens, people are more hesitant to invest, spend money and buy homes. Interest rates don't help either, being at the highest point this year.
But.....there are opportunities if you're a savvy buyer.
This is the time to negotiate, get a discount, credits, have the seller do repairs.
It most of the market ( not everywhere), buyers have the leverage now. But it will not last long. As soon as the elections are over, New Year goes by and spring market begins, buyer's opportunities will disappear.
DM me or text to chat about the opportunities right now.

If you bought a home in the past with down payment less that 20%, even as recently as couple of years ago, you really want to check what is your home worth and what equity you have. You might be able to remove the PMI , which amounts to anywhere $50-300, based on the size of the loan. That's potentially thousands of dollars you can save over the life of your loan.
If you're not sure where to start, comment word " equity " and I'll reach out to you.
You can also DM me directly.

Is this a good time to buy a house ???

It all depends..., do you really need a house right now or does renting make more sense?
Can you comfortably afford it? Not just a down payment and monthly rate, but an upkeep of the house.
Will you stay there for at least a few years?

If you answered yes to all 3, this is a great time to buy a house. Real estate market is in late summer, fall , coming to winter cycle, where typically homes sit longer, sellers are more willing to negotiate and of course there are a lot less buyers out there, which means less competition for you.

If you're ready to have a conversation, send me a text or call, let's talk.
