Ever wonder how anyone is snagging a house these days? With sky-high prices and mortgage rates, buyers are getting creative: some are paying extra upfront to lower their interest (think: buying a cheaper monthly payment), while others are haggling for perks like cash or repairs. And a bunch of folks? They're calling the Bank of Mom and Dad for help with the down payment. If you’re not ready to buy, you’re not alone—many are waiting it out in rentals until things cool off. #RealEstate #HomeBuyingHacks #MoneyMoves
