The Battle for Affordable Housing in Pittsburgh | 1-Minute Market Update w/ Martin
Is the housing market finally tilting in favor of buyers, or is it just a mirage? This week, we dissect the latest trends, revealing a landscape marked by cautious interest and strategic waiting. Mortgage applications have nudged up slightly, online home searches are on the rise, and inventory is expanding, giving buyers more options but also heightening competition. Despite these shifts, steep home prices and high-interest rates keep the market tense. We'll break down current data on home prices and interest rates, providing insights on whether to buy now or hold out for a better deal.
Join us as we shift our focus to Pittsburgh's bold attempt to tackle affordable housing. A new rule could mandate that 10% of units in large apartment buildings be designated for families earning under $50,600 annually. While developers argue against the financial strain this rule might impose, the city council's decision could reshape the housing landscape. Amid rising borrowing costs and a strained job market, there's a silver lining with easing inflation hinting at potentially lower interest rates. Tune in to get the latest pulse on both single-family homes and the multifamily sector, and arm yourself with the knowledge to navigate this complex market.
