Thinking about buying a home? You’re not alone if it feels out of reach. Even though there are more houses for sale, sky-high mortgage rates and record prices mean most folks are still priced out. First-time buyers are especially squeezed, needing nearly double the income compared to five years ago. The upside? Homes are sitting on the market longer, so sellers might be more open to deals or price drops. Patience could pay off! #HomeBuying #RealEstate #MoneyHacks
