Aaron Ballard+FollowShould You Wait to Buy a House in 2025?Heads up, house hunters and sellers! Zillow says home prices might actually dip by almost 2% in 2025, which is rare news these days. If you’re looking to buy, it could pay to wait for a better deal. Sellers, though, might want to list sooner rather than later to lock in higher prices. The catch? Timing both buying and selling perfectly is tricky, so focus on what works best for your life, not just the market buzz. #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #Zillow #HousingMarket #RealEstate20Share
