Samantha Welch+FollowWhy Is Everyone Ghosting Home Deals?Ever feel like buying a house is just a wild goose chase? You’re not alone. Right now, home sales are at a nine-month low, and a ton of deals are falling through—think one in seven! With mortgage rates near 7% and prices still climbing, buyers are hitting pause. Sellers, meanwhile, are stuck in the past, hoping for those pandemic-era jackpots. So if you’re house hunting, expect lots of listings, but not many bargains. Sometimes, waiting it out is the real money move. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyHacks12Share

Brad Caldwell+FollowAccidental Landlords Are Shaking Up RentalsHaving trouble selling your house? You’re not alone. With high mortgage rates and more homes on the market, some sellers are ditching the ‘for sale’ sign and renting out their places instead. This new wave of ‘accidental landlords’ is giving big rental companies a run for their money, especially in hot spots like Dallas and Tampa. If you’re thinking about renting out your home, you might not get rich quick—but you could ride out the market and cover your costs until things pick up. #RealEstate #RentalMarket #MoneyHacks2828Share

You’ve got more power than you think! #RealEstate #HomebuyingTips #MoneyHacks00Share
randerson+FollowWhy Builders Are Grabbing Land Like CrazyEver wonder why new homes seem to pop up out of nowhere, even when the market is slow? Turns out, builders are quietly snapping up land now, betting big that the housing market will bounce back. They're teaming up with 'land bankers'—think of them as land babysitters—so they can secure prime spots without blowing all their cash. If this pays off, we could see more homes (and maybe better deals) for buyers when things heat up again. So, if you’re house-hunting, keep an eye out—your dream home might be in the pipeline! #RealEstate #HomeBuyingTips #MoneyHacks104Share
Christine Baxter+FollowCDs: Still Worth It for Your $20K?Thinking about what to do with your $20K nest egg? CDs (those old-school savings accounts with fixed rates) are still handing out solid returns, even though rates have dipped since last year. If you locked in a CD in 2024, you’d have made hundreds more than if you waited until now. The catch? Rates are likely to drop further, so if you want a safe, predictable way to grow your cash, now’s the time to act before the deals get even smaller. #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyHacks10Share
Christine Baxter+FollowWhy Your Council Tax Feels So UnfairEver wonder why your council tax keeps going up but your local services seem to shrink? MPs say it’s because councils don’t have enough say over how they set and spend your tax. Right now, your bill is based on 1991 house prices (seriously!), so some folks pay way more than their fair share. If councils could set their own rules, you might see fairer bills—and maybe fewer potholes! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyHacks10Share
