Home prices just hit a new high—$435K is now the median! But here's the twist: most of the action is happening with luxury homes, while first-time buyers are getting squeezed out. If you’re dreaming of owning, high mortgage rates aren’t helping, either. Pro tip: If rates drop closer to 6%, more renters could finally break into the market. Until then, it’s a waiting game for many of us. Anyone else stalking Zillow for deals? #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips
