Shelly Powell+FollowHousing Market: Pause Now, Party Later?Thinking about buying or selling a home? You’re not alone if you hit pause recently—rumors of new property taxes had everyone holding their breath. But the Budget wasn’t as scary as expected: only super high-end homes (over £2 million) get a new tax, and most of us are off the hook. Expect more buyers and sellers to jump back in after the holidays, especially in pricier areas. If you’ve been waiting, 2026 could be your year! #RealEstate #housingmarket #property00Share
Denise Kemp+FollowIs the Housing Market About to Crash?Here’s your coffee break reality check: A top housing analyst says home prices could drop by up to 50%—yep, even worse than 2008. Why?

If you’re a homeowner, keep an eye on your home’s value and don’t panic-sell. The market’s cooling, especially in the South and Sunbelt, so expect more affordable options soon. #RealEstate #HousingMarket #MoneyTips1622Share
Denise Kemp+FollowWhy So Many Homes Are Disappearing From ZillowEver wonder why your Zillow scroll feels a little emptier? Turns out, tons of homeowners are yanking their listings instead of selling for less. With high mortgage rates and picky buyers, sellers would rather wait it out than take a lowball offer. The twist? Fewer homes for sale actually helps keep prices up, so don’t expect bargains just yet. If you’re house hunting, patience is the new money hack! #RealEstate #HousingMarket #MoneyHacks62Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowKnoxville homebuyers face steep income hurdleBuying a house in Knoxville now means you’d need to make over $84,000 a year just to keep housing costs at a manageable level. That’s a big jump, considering the city’s median income is just above $50,000. With the average home price pushing $369,000, many locals would have to spend more than half their income on housing alone. Only Memphis made the list of affordable cities in Tennessee, highlighting how tough the market has become here. How are you and your neighbors navigating these rising costs? Is homeownership starting to feel out of reach in Knoxville? #RealEstate #Knoxville #HousingMarket202Share

Donald Wilson+FollowMy Parents' Home Purchase Price You Won't BelieveThis was back in 1991 when they made the big move from California to Texas. The whole thing kicked off when a cousin called my mom out of the blue, telling her there was a house for sale and she absolutely had to buy it. My mom was $3,000 short, and get this – my brother's teacher actually lent her the money. It wasn't just a house either; it came with two lots. Years later, in 2009, they managed to build a big house next door, entirely with cash, for $140,000. And, my parents bought their home for just $7,000 at that time. #RealEstate #HomeOwnership #HousingMarket #Throwback #FamilyHistory #TexasLiving #AffordableHousing #PersonalFinance #Unbelievable 1136Share
