Paused Your Moving Plans? Here's Why It's Time To Hit Play Again
It's not really a surprise that 70% of buyers paused their home search last year. Maybe you were one of them. And if so, no judgment. Conditions just weren't great.
Inventory was too low, prices were too high, and mortgage rates were bouncing all over. That made it really hard to find a home you loved – and could afford. And why sell if you're not sure where you're going to go?
But here's the thing: the market's shifting. And it might be time to hit play again.

Jason White's June 2024 Real Estate Market Analysis
Normally, those two statistics do not go together (lower sales volume and higher sales prices.) Last month, we discussed some of the reasons that explain why this is occurring: higher mortgage rates, Presidential election year pauses, and over-priced inventory in the market. Mortgage rates have not significantly reduced and the Presidential election isn't until November. If anything, the recent Presidential debate increased the amount of uncertainty. However, inventory pricing is showing...
