Is the dream of owning a home slipping away from you? This week, we unpack why now might actually be the perfect time to make your move—despite what the headlines say. With mortgage applications taking a significant dip of 8% compared to last year, there's still a glimmer of hope as they've recently risen by 3%. And guess what? Online searches for homes are up by 11% over the past month, indicating renewed interest despite high prices averaging $389,250. You'll also find out why the increased home inventory—up by almost 18.9%—could be a game-changer, offering you more options and potentially less competition.

But that's not all. We break down the recent surge in mortgage refinancing, skyrocketing by 34.5% just last week, and what this means for you. With the Federal Reserve potentially lowering interest rates soon, thanks to new inflation data showing a significant drop to 2.8%, we could see a spike in home prices. If you're on the fence about buying a home, this episode gives you the crucial insights you need to make an informed decision. Don't miss out on understanding why this might be your best opportunity in a rapidly changing market.
