Why Homes Are Suddenly Sitting Unsold

Thinking about buying a house? You might have more options (and wiggle room) than you think. This spring, there are more homes for sale than we've seen in five years, but buyers are still skittish thanks to high prices, mortgage rates, and economic drama. Sellers are starting to accept lower offers, so if you’re house hunting, don’t be shy about negotiating. The market’s shifting—maybe it’s your time to score a deal! #housingmarket #realestate #homebuying #moneymoves #lifehacks

Prices are way too high. even if you can't afford to buy the house, can you afford the insurance and taxes. can you afford the upkeep? $125 just to have a plumber or electrician, come to your house, even if they don't do anything. five hundred dollars to replace a moderate sized window. at least fifteen hundred if you have to replace a water heater. and so on.
