If the housing market feels confusing right now, you’re not alone. Higher inflation and lingering economic uncertainty caused economists to revise their forecasts for this year. But importantly, when those two things settle down, many experts believe the market will regain its momentum.

Facts! Well said Chris Smith!

Your agent walked into that listing appointment with actual data.

Closed sales. Same street. Same square footage. Same condition. Sold within the last 90 days.

You walked in with a Zestimate screenshot and a renovation receipt.

Here's the thing sellers never want to hear: the appraiser doesn't care about your receipts.

The buyer doesn't care about your neighbor.

And the market hasn't cared about 2021 prices since 2021.

A comp is a closed transaction. Similar home. Similar location. Recent sale.

That's it. That's the whole definition.

Not what an algorithm estimated.
Not what you need to break even.
Not what someone "across town" got in a different school district, different condition, different everything.

Your agent isn't lowballing you. They are literally incentivized to sell your home for as much as humanly possible.

They're protecting you from the worst outcome in real estate, sitting on the market so long that buyers assume something's wrong, then selling for less than you would have if you'd just listened on day one.

The comps don't lie. They just tell you things you don't want to hear.

Mortgage rates climbed to 6.46% for the week ending April 2, a seven-month high and the fifth straight weekly increase, as the Iran war fuels market instability and drives up oil prices, according to Freddie Mac. In his primetime address to the nation Wednesday night, President Donald Trump warned of escalating military action against Iran in the "next two to three weeks" while providing no concrete exit strategy. Following his remarks, the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate jumped 10%, hitting $110 a barrel for the first time in over three weeks.

Note > this is with $80,000 down 📈.
✅Oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped by roughly 95%
✅ Severe bottleneck for global energy
✅Oil prices have spiked
⛽️Growing fears of a global energy crisis threaten to derail the crucial spring housing season as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran sends oil prices soaring, with the path to a resolution unclear.

Mortgage rates rose to 6.22% for the week ending March 19, up from 6.11% the prior week and well above the brief dip into the 5% range just three weeks ago. For a buyer purchasing the median-priced home of $403,450 with 20% down, the monthly payment is now roughly $1,981, up $23 from last week. The silver lining: that's still $96 less per month than buyers paid a year ago, when rates averaged 6.67%.

🧐This milestone is especially striking given that women still earn 85 cents for every dollar men make, and couldn't legally obtain a mortgage on their own until 1974. https://www.facebook.com/share/1C9FoFxC8P/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Single women are outpacing single men in homebuying and are second only to married couples in the housing market, helping push female homeownership to an all-time high of 20 million, according to First American Financial Corp. "They truly are this tremendous force," said NAR deputy chief economist Jessica Lautz. The milestone is especially striking given that women still earn 85 cents for every dollar men make, and couldn't legally obtain a mortgage on their own until 1974.
