I'm ready to help during the "best week" or any other week!

Our new report identifies Sept. 27–Oct. 3 as the best week of the year to buy a home, offering a rare window of opportunity for shoppers. During this time, buyers could see potential savings of roughly $14K on a median-priced home of $416,000 compared to the summer peak. This advantage is driven by nearly 32% more active listings than at the start of the year and viewership per property that is roughly 30% lower.

When I got into the business in 1990 (when I was 5 years old, of course 🤣), mortgage rates were around 10%.

NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun reacts to the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in three years and why we can expect 7% mortgage rates as the new normal.
