hodgesmaria+Followcalifornia sun vs midwest space In California, $600k gets you a small 2-bedroom with neighbors practically on top of you. Great weather, great jobs… but zero breathing room. In the Midwest, $600k buys a 5-bedroom house on half an acre. Space for kids, dogs, BBQs, even a workshop. So which matters more—sunshine and salaries, or space and sanity? #House #HousingMarket #CostOfLiving00Share
hodgesmaria+Follow$250k in texas vs $250k in california Saw a listing in Texas: $250k gets you a 3-bedroom house with a yard, garage, and space for a BBQ. Checked California out of curiosity. For the same $250k? You get… a converted garage. No kitchen. No yard. How are we even living in the same country? Same dollars. Completely different lives. Would you rather have the job opportunities of the coast, or the home ownership dreams of the middle states? #House #HousingMarket #CostOfLiving00Share
russellolson+FollowIs It Finally Time to Buy a House in San Diego?House prices are cooling off in cities like San Diego, Miami, and Phoenix—so if you’ve been priced out, it might be time to peek at those listings again. The big shift? Pandemic hotspots are losing steam as locals can’t keep up with sky-high prices, while Midwest and Northeast homes are still climbing. Good news: for the first time in ages, paychecks are catching up to home prices. Maybe that dream home isn’t so out of reach after all! #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate00Share
Denise Kemp+FollowWhy Old Houses Are Suddenly Pricier Than NewHere’s a wild twist: in many places, buying a brand-new house now costs less than snagging an older one. Builders are throwing in sweet deals—think lower prices, free upgrades, or help with closing costs—to move their extra inventory. Meanwhile, folks with existing homes are hanging onto their low mortgage rates, so fewer are selling. If you’re house hunting, don’t assume “new” means “more expensive”—shop around and ask about incentives! #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate1914Share
russellolson+FollowWhy Everyone’s Waiting to Buy a HouseThinking about buying or selling a house? You’re not alone in feeling stuck. This summer, buyers are sidelined by high prices and mortgage rates, while sellers refuse to drop prices, leading to a ton of homes being pulled off the market. The upside? If rates drop, expect a buying frenzy—so if you’re renting, enjoy the break while you can. And if you’re selling, patience might pay off! #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate101Share
randerson+FollowWhy Are So Many Homes Disappearing?Ever notice homes for sale just vanishing? Turns out, more sellers are yanking their listings instead of dropping prices. It’s like a standoff—sellers don’t want to budge, and buyers aren’t biting with rates so high. If you’re house hunting, don’t be surprised if your dream home suddenly goes off the market. Sellers are holding out, hoping for better days (or prices) ahead. Patience might pay off for both sides, but for now, it’s a waiting game! #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate172Share
megan01+FollowWhy Rent Keeps Going Up (Hint: Wall Street)Ever wonder why rent feels like it’s always going up, even when your paycheck isn’t? Turns out, big Wall Street firms are scooping up homes before regular folks can even get a look. They rent them out at sky-high prices, making it even harder for people to buy or find affordable places. If you’re tired of rent hikes, you’re not alone—some cities are fighting back with new rules and community housing. Maybe it’s time to root for the little guy! #RealEstate #housingmarket #rent115Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowWhy Everyone's Slashing Home PricesHeard the latest housing gossip? In half of America’s big cities, home sellers are practically putting up 'Everything Must Go!' signs. Thanks to high mortgage rates and too many new builds, places like Tampa and Austin are seeing price tags drop fast. If you’re house-hunting, this could mean deals are popping up—just don’t expect a bargain in places like San Francisco. For sellers, it’s a reminder: timing is everything in real estate! #RealEstate #HousingMarket #HomeBuying10Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWhy Are So Many Homes Disappearing?Ever notice homes for sale just vanishing? Sellers are getting tired of waiting for buyers and would rather pull their listings than drop the price. This standoff means fewer deals and more frustration for everyone. If you’re house hunting, don’t expect a bargain—many sellers are holding out, especially in hot spots like Miami. The market’s in a holding pattern, so patience (and maybe a little luck) is key! #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate71Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowIs It Finally Time to Buy a House?Thinking about buying a home but waiting for mortgage rates to drop? You’re not alone! Rates are inching down, but don’t expect a huge crash—experts say we might see a small dip by the end of 2025. That could save you about $70 a month on a typical mortgage. Still, with high prices and tight budgets, homeownership is staying out of reach for many, especially younger buyers. Maybe it’s time to keep renting and stash those savings for now! #RealEstate #housingmarket #mortgagerates13Share
