After a wild post-pandemic rush, the appetite for land has tanked, and that means fewer new houses popping up in the near future. If you’re waiting for a deal, keep an eye out—eventually, falling land prices could mean cheaper new homes, but it might take a while! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyHacks12Share
