To Buy or Not to Buy

If you’ve been paying even a little attention to the real estate market lately, you’ve probably noticed one thing: confusion. Prices are up—then down. Interest rates spike—then settle (kind of). Inventory is low, yet somehow there are still homes sitting for months. It’s no wonder many buyers and sellers feel stuck asking, “Should I even be buying right now?”

Right now, the housing market feels like a riddle. We’ve seen interest rates climb significantly over the past year or two, which has cooled buyer enthusiasm. At the same time, many current homeowners are hesitant to sell because they’re locked into ultra-low mortgage rates from the past. That means fewer listings and more competition for the good ones.

But that doesn’t mean the sky is falling. It just means the market is shifting, and in times of transition, things can feel chaotic. Buyers are cautious. Sellers are selective. And everyone is waiting for a “better time.”

If this is you and you have questions regarding the market & whether or not you can/should buy please don’t hesitate to reach out to me & we will talk about your options.
