Their inquiries about home values, property taxes, and the buy vs. rent differential open up a detailed discussion on how mortgage payments and income dynamics have evolved over time.

We analyze data from specific zip codes to gauge seller urgency and market trends, revealing that up to 50% of homes in some areas are seeing price reductions. Learn how these trends might signal broader economic shifts and discover strategies to navigate a market rife with overpriced homes due to recent buying frenzies. By the end of this chapter, you'll have a clearer sense of how new home inventory impacts market stability and what it means for buyers and sellers alike.
