Here's what I'm seeing in the market right now, and it matters for your next move.
If you've been waiting for mortgage rates to drop significantly, here's the reality: rates are expected to stay in the mid-6% range for the foreseeable future. That doesn't mean you should wait—it means you should adjust your strategy. More inventory is coming onto the market, prices are adjusting, and buyers are gaining negotiating power. For sellers, this is the opposite signal: pricing correctly from day one matters more than ever.
Let me break down what this means for you:
For buyers: Stop waiting for the "perfect" rate. Work with your financing now, not against it. More homes are available, seller concessions are happening, and you have leverage you didn't have a year ago. Get pre-approved, understand what you can actually afford, and move when you find the right property.
For sellers: Pricing is everything. Overpricing your home in this market means it sits, loses momentum, and eventually sells for less than if you'd priced it right from the start. Get a current market analysis, present your home in its best light, and be realistic about where the market is today—not where you wish it was.
The common pitfall I see? Both buyers and sellers making decisions based on emotion or outdated information instead of current market data. The market has shifted. Your strategy needs to shift with it.
