The summer Houston housing market is serving up some unexpected twists.
While affordability is still a challenge for many homebuyers, early June data is revealing some major opportunities for buyers who are ready to make a strategic move.
Here’s what’s shifting right now:
Mortgage Rates: The average 30-year fixed rate recently dipped to 6.48% (down from 6.85% this time last year).
More Options: Single-family listings are up 6.5% year-over-year, giving you more homes to choose from.
More Leverage: Average days on market have ticked up to 60 days, meaning buyers finally have some room to breathe and negotiate.
This doesn't mean every neighborhood is soft, but it DOES mean patient, prepared buyers have more leverage than they've seen in years.
