Two Major Forces Shaping the Housing Market | Is Now the Best Time to Buy? header image.

Here’s the good news: today’s real estate market offers a significant advantage for buyers that hasn’t been seen in quite some time.

Here are the key reasons why now is a great time to buy:

  • Lower Mortgage Rates: Mortgage rates are currently lower than they were at this same time last year, making home financing more affordable and accessible.
  • Increased Inventory: Inventory levels have increased by an impressive 33% year over year, giving you a wider selection of homes to choose from.
  • Seller Flexibility: Sellers are adjusting their expectations and pricing strategies, creating opportunities for buyers to negotiate better terms.

With these factors combined, buyers have a unique opportunity to find the right home at a favorable price. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to enter the market, this is it.
