Thomas Clark+FollowThe homeowner backed out of the deal because they wanted more money.I am so upset. We found the perfect house on Zillow that was completely in our price range and in the neighborhood we wanted. We were all ready to put in our offer when our realtor told us they had just accepted the first one. So we put in a backup offer, just in case. Then our realtor called us tonight with the most unbelievable news. The sellers want to back out of the first deal and sell the house to us instead. We asked if the first buyer's financing fell through, and our agent said no. The sellers just want more money. The first buyer has already paid earnest money and for an inspection. Our realtor said that in Illinois a seller can back out within a 5-day window. But we told her there was no way we could do that to another buyer. I am so sad about it, though I know in my heart I did the right thing. We can't give up and will start the process again tomorrow. #RealEstate #HousingMarket #HomeBuying #LifeChoices 01Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowWhy Falling Home Prices Could Lower Your BillsGrab your coffee—here’s a money tip: The US housing market is in a serious slump, and that could mean good news for your wallet. If home prices start dropping, it could drag down overall inflation, making everything from groceries to gas a bit more affordable. The catch? If you’re house-hunting, you might see better deals soon. But if you’re selling, brace for lower offers. Either way, keep an eye on those price tags! #RealEstate #HousingMarket #Inflation111Share

But don’t expect a 2008-style crash—most sellers are happy to wait it out. If you’re house hunting, keep an eye on local deals and hope for lower rates later this year.

Heather Moore+FollowWhy Lower Rates Won't Make Homes CheaperThinking a Fed rate cut will finally make buying a house easier? Not so fast. Even if the Fed lowers rates, it mostly affects short-term loans, not those 30-year mortgages we all dream about. The real issue? There just aren’t enough homes for sale. So, unless more people decide to move or builders ramp up, don’t expect a big price drop. For now, homebuyers are still stuck in a tough spot. #RealEstate #housingmarket #FedRates00Share
