🚨 Will the Housing Market Change in 2025? 🚨

With a new president in office, everyone’s wondering:
💰 Will home prices drop?
📉 Will mortgage rates finally go down?
🏡 Is now a good time to buy or sell?

I’m breaking down 4 key trends that could impact your real estate plans:

1️⃣ Deregulation might boost inventory—but it depends on local policies.
2️⃣ Immigration changes could lead to labor shortages, raising construction costs.
3️⃣ Tariffs on materials like lumber might push home prices higher.
4️⃣ Mortgage rates could stay above 6% but may dip slightly in 2025.

📍 Real estate is always LOCAL! These shifts could impact your neighborhood differently.

💬 Thinking about buying, selling, or investing? Let’s chat! Comment below or DM me to see how these changes could affect you in 2025.

My secret for getting you the most offers on your home?

List just below the market.

In my experience, pricing too high can dissuade potential buyers, but pricing just below the market value? It generates the buzz we’re looking for.

Buyers are drawn to what they see as a deal, leading to a spike in interest and oftentimes a bidding war.

But there's more…

Pricing is one key component of a larger strategy to garner interest and receive strong offers from multiple contenders.
In reality, many integral puzzle pieces come together to get your home sold for top dollar.

This is a tale about resilience.

And the protagonists of this story are millennials.

They’ve faced their fair share of challenges with higher interest rates, home prices, and the struggle to save for a down payment while renting.

The market conditions have not been the friendliest.
It was reported that 67% of millennials regret not buying a home when rates were lower.

A remarkable 78% of you are still open to the idea of buying a home
Even if it means navigating higher-than-average mortgage rates and making some compromises.
Today I’m sharing a few clever ways I’ve seen millennials get started on their home buying journeys, despite the setbacks.

Getting in the game:
Buying a home just to get into the game, living in it for two years, then using the proceeds to level up to a more desirable home. The key here is to start building equity — then keep going!

House hacking:
Buying a duplex or home with a mother-in-law suite and renting it out on airbnb or to a longer term tenant to reduce costs.

Creative financing:
Looking into creative financing options - there are some incredible loan programs that offer reduced or 0% down payments. (I’d be happy to connect you with a stellar lender who can put together a few great options!)

Recasting:
I’ve seen some paying slightly over the asking price to seal the deal then recasting or refinancing their mortgage at a later date to reduce monthly payments. (Of course, it’s critical to not overextend yourself).
