Matthew Jackson+FollowWhy 2026 Might Be the Year to Buy a HomeThinking about moving? The wild days of bidding wars and skyrocketing prices are cooling off. Experts say 2026 will feel more like a reset—think slow and steady, not boom or bust. Mortgage rates are expected to dip below 6%, so monthly payments could get easier. The best part? More homes should hit the market, giving buyers more choices and sellers a nudge to price realistically. If you’re prepping to buy or sell, patience and planning could really pay off. #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate10Share

Denise Kemp+FollowWhy So Many Homes Are Disappearing From ZillowEver wonder why your Zillow scroll feels a little emptier?

Homeowners who locked in super-low mortgage rates during the pandemic are now holding tight to their homes. Why? If they buy now, their monthly payments could jump by $1,000 or more!

Samantha Welch+FollowWhat If the Middle Class Quit Buying Homes?Ever wondered what would happen if the middle class just stopped buying houses? ChatGPT says home prices for regular folks would drop, but rents would shoot up since everyone still needs a place to live. Investors would scoop up homes to rent out, making it even harder to build wealth through homeownership. Plus, less home buying means fewer jobs in construction and home goods. Basically, renting gets pricier, owning gets rarer, and the wealth gap grows. Yikes! #RealEstate #HousingMarket #MoneyTalk01Share
