Home sales just dropped to their slowest pace since 2009, with buyers spooked by high mortgage rates (think 6.7% for a 30-year loan). Some cities in Florida, Arizona, and Texas are already seeing prices dip, and experts warn that more areas could follow. If you’re not in a rush, it might pay to wait—more homes are popping up for sale, and prices could cool off soon.

Heather Moore+FollowWhy Buying a Home Feels Impossible NowEver feel like owning a home is just out of reach? You’re not alone—about 70% of US families can’t afford a typical $400K house anymore. Blame sky-high prices, low supply, and mortgage rates that make monthly payments sting. If you’re saving for a place, try side hustles or high-yield savings to boost your down payment. Renting isn’t a bad move either—it keeps you flexible and can help you save up smarter for the future. #HomeBuying #MoneyHacks #PersonalFinance #RentVsBuy #HousingCrisis #RealEstate80Share
