During the holidays, the housing market always finds its way into the conversation 🎄🏡 So before you get caught off guard at your next holiday party, let’s go over the top 3 questions people keep asking—and the real answers 👇 1️⃣ “Will I ever be able to find a home if I move?” Yes. Inventory is growing 📈 and buyers and sellers have more options than they’ve had in years. 2️⃣ “Should I wait for prices to fall?” Someone at the table will swear a crash is coming 🗣️💥 But even experts don’t agree. Most are forecasting prices to continue rising nationally over the next five years, just at a slower pace. Price trends vary by market, and crash talk usually ignores the bigger picture 🌎 3️⃣ “Will I ever be able to afford a home?” Affordability is still tight—but it is improving 👍 Mortgage rates have eased, price growth is cooling, and monthly payments are slowly coming down 💡 Here’s the bottom line ✨ The talk will be loud—at the dinner table, in group chats, or from your cousin’s neighbor—but it’s not always accurate 😅 If you want real answers based on local data, reach out to MX Associates.
