Why lower rates could be a bad thing for buyers

📈 Market Move:

Rates Drop, Prices Pop?

Alright, so here’s the deal: The Fed just cut rates, and while that sounds like a win for buyers, don’t break out the confetti just yet. Lower mortgage rates mean more buyers jumping back into the market, but here’s the catch—there’s still a massive housing shortage. Less supply + more demand = potential price hikes.

If more sellers don’t jump in to meet that demand, we could see a serious run-up in home prices. So, if you’re waiting for a price drop... you might be waiting a while. More buyers competing for limited homes could send prices up, especially if mortgage rates dip below 6%. Buckle up—it’s about to get competitive out there.
