Episode #1242

*Homebuyers are getting the biggest discounts on properties in over 12 years—and it’s only getting started.*

At this point, nobody can refute that a *full-on buyer’s market* has arrived. Homes are selling below list price, buyers are waiting out the market, and sellers are getting increasingly desperate. All the while, *mortgage rates* are a full percentage point lower than a year ago, inventory is up, and mortgage payments are actually down.

*This is it. The “shift” that investors and homebuyers have been waiting for.*

In this month’s *housing market update,* we’ll get into it all—how much of a *discount you can get* on your next property (and markets with the biggest deals), why nobody is buying right now and how that *gives investors an advantage,* whether *mortgage rates* will drop below the low six-percent range, and *how likely a housing market crash is* with inventory rising but demand staying stagnant.
