👀 Are buyers finally coming back into the housing market?
The latest data says yes.

🏡 Existing home sales rose 1.7% in February, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.09 million homes, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Two key things helped drive the increase:
✔️ Mortgage rates hit a three-year low
✔️ More first-time buyers jumped into the market

In fact, first-time buyers made up 34% of all sales, which is the highest share in five years.

💬 NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun explains:
“Housing affordability is improving, and consumers are responding, but there is still a long way to go to return to pre-pandemic levels.”

📊 What this means for buyers and sellers:
We’re starting to see more activity again as affordability slowly improves and first-time buyers re-enter the market.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines wondering when the market might shift, this is definitely something worth watching.

What do you think…
Are we finally seeing the market pick back up?

INFLATION?! WAR?! 🙄 We can’t overlook the news flashing everywhere about inflation, global conflicts, and the economy. But what we can do is make sure we stay informed, especially if you are considering a big investment anytime soon.

So LET’S break it down.

For Buyers:
Interest rates are hovering around the 6% range right now, which is higher than the ultra-low pandemic years but still within a more normal historical range. The upside is inventory has improved, which means buyers are seeing more options and a little less competition than a couple years ago. Many builders are also offering incentives again, which can help with closing costs or rate buy-downs.

For Sellers:
Homes are still selling, but pricing correctly matters more than ever. Buyers today are very payment-focused, so homes that are priced right and show well are the ones moving. The days of listing far above market and expecting multiple offers immediately have slowed, but strong homes in desirable areas are still closing.

For the North Houston market:
We are seeing a more balanced market compared to the extreme seller’s market we experienced a few years ago. Inventory has increased, giving buyers more breathing room while still maintaining solid home values. Overall the market is stabilizing rather than declining.

So if the question is…

“Is it a good time to buy?”

I would say this: if the payment works for you and the home fits your long-term plans, it can absolutely be a good time. Waiting for the “perfect” market rarely works because rates, prices, and inventory are always moving.

If you ever want to talk about what’s happening specifically in your neighborhood or price range, feel free to reach out anytime.
