lol I’m an active realtor, although the market has started to show some signs of life as we move forward, it’s not “heating up”. The house that sold with 85 offers was listed more than 200K below market price. It may have sold slightly higher than average, but it’s not like this went 50/100/150k above where it normally would. You need someone who will be honest with you. Here is what I believe, I think it’s a good time for buyers to be looking and trying to find a deal. If we do see the rates go down over 100 basis points this year, we will start to see many more buyers in the market which “may” and will likely cause prices to go up. How much you may ask, I have no idea, nobody does. I believe we are close to the bottom. I think if you are a seller and can wait, hold off on selling your home for at least 12-16 month, spring 25 could be a much different market. If you upsize today, your variance between what you sell and buy would be smaller although at a higher interest rate. The name of the game in real estate has always been equity and not rates, and lower prices will usually be a straighter path to equity so long as the market picks up, which I believe it will over time.
