Remember when buying a house felt like a cheat code for building wealth? Not so much these days. Home prices are barely keeping up with inflation, so your place might not be the money-maker it used to be. Blame high mortgage rates and sticky inflation for cooling the market. The upside? We might finally see prices settle into something more affordable, especially in cities with steady jobs and good vibes. If you’re house-hunting, patience could pay off! #RealEstate #housingmarket #moneytips
