Putting off buying a home? Maybe you're waiting for a crash to get a better deal – or afraid you'll buy now and watch your home's value fall later.

Either way, the widespread drop you're bracing for may not be coming.

Yes, a few markets are seeing mild declines. But more than 100 economists and housing experts expect home prices will actually rise nationally over the next five years – not fall.

And waiting for a deal that never comes could mean passing up the chance to gain thousands in equity or paying more in a few years for the same home.

So before you decide to wait, let's talk about your options and what prices are really doing in our area.

If affordability has been your top concern, the recent dip in prices is an opening. Want to see what that looks like in our area? Let’s connect.

If affordability has been the biggest thing standing between you and a home, there's a little good news.

Home prices are up in some markets and flat or negative in others. So, what's going on?

It really comes down to one thing: inventory.

Where there are more homes for sale than there were before the pandemic, prices have stabilized or dipped. Where inventory is still well below normal, prices are still climbing.

And that’s why the headlines are so confusing right now. It varies a lot by area.

The national average is 1.7%, but your city’s number may tell a different story depending on where you live. That's exactly why working with someone who knows your local market makes all the difference right now.

If you spend enough time online, you'd probably think home prices are crashing or they’re about too.

But the data tells a different story.

According to Realtor.com, home prices are still rising in 71% of housing markets across the country.

That's the majority of markets.

Yes, some areas are seeing slight price declines. But they're the exception, not the rule.
That's why it's important to be careful about where you're getting your housing market information.

The internet loves dramatic headlines. The data usually tells a more complete story.

🏠Real Estate Tip: cardboard is the perfect appetizer for termites. If you have pieces of cardboard laying on the ground under your house, that’s the perfect bait to attract termites. Make sure you remove all pieces of cardboard and wood scraps from under your house. This includes cardboard forms, used to pour cement pillars.

That kind of separation does not happen by accident. It comes from experience, professionalism, local market knowledge, relentless work ethic, and agents who are fully committed to delivering results for their clients every single day.
This graphic is more than a statistic. It is proof that consumers continue to trust RE/MAX agents to get the job done at the highest level.
There is a reason the balloon continues to stand above the rest.
Higher productivity. Stronger performance. Proven results.
