Did you hear? U.S. home prices just hit a record high—almost $400K! But here’s the twist: buyers are actually snagging homes for about $26K less than what sellers are hoping for. With fewer folks able to afford a house, sellers are getting more flexible. If you’re house hunting, now’s the time to negotiate, especially if the place isn’t in a hot spot or needs a little TLC. Just remember, the best-looking homes in prime locations still go fast and at full price! #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #RealEstate
