The housing market has been going through many major shifts. Mortgage rates are increasing, people are questioning their ability to buy a home, and the seller’s market has started getting support from these tailwinds. It all came to a conclusion last summer when home prices reached their peak. And when there are peaks, there are retraces. Headlines saying “home prices will go down soon” started to circulate. 

But those expectations weren’t matched. Even though the number of buyers isn’t high anymore, house prices aren’t going down. They stay flat, with many houses and real estate owners refusing to budge and reduce home prices. 

Commenting on this, Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), said he doesn’t…

The current seller’s market is making it difficult for everyone to buy a home. The inflating price, the volatile mortgage rates, and the general market sentiment aren’t attuned to what you want in an environment.

But even though things look bleak right now, they all have a silver lining. Here are all the reasons you must continue persevering a bit longer. 

Owning a Home isn’t Just a Short Term Gain

Owning a home isn’t just a place you can call your own - it is about building your net worth. And wealth building takes time.

Many of us, particularly those of us who were caring for loved ones, asked ourselves and others what it meant to have a home during the pandemic.

This can be seen in modern times in the recent surge in the number of homes that include multiple generations.
The following is a quote from Jessica Lautz, who is the Deputy Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the Vice President of Economic Research at the NAR:


"Multi-generational buying" refers to the practice of purchasing a home that is occupied by multiple families at the same time, possibly including aging parents, adult children who have returned home, or other members of the extended family.
Although while this way of life has been around for a while, it has become increasingly…

This "short-term rental" method is akin to renting a hotel room and has become a much-favored investment over the past decade. 28% of homeowners resort to taking this approach of renting their old home for a short term as a way to generate additional income. 

While short-term rental is tempting, implementing it comes with more responsibilities, you may be willing to take on.
