Housing Market Flips from Seller’s to Buyer’s Market in Much of the Country

The housing market is finally giving buyers a break. Home prices aren’t crashing, but many of them are dropping, or stagnating, as homes sit on the market and seller confidence drops, buyer control rises, and economic sentiment remains low. Americans aren’t feeling good about the economy, but this makes buying a home even better: lower mortgage rates, the ability to get seller concessions, and longer negotiation times put buyers in the driver’s seat. So, how should you take advantage?

Dave brought the entire expert investing panel from the On the Market podcast to the show to share what they’re buying, what they’re selling, and how they’re investing during this new buyer’s market. 

Not every market in the US is experiencing a buyer’s market, but if you’re in one of the many major metros that is, we’re sharing how to take advantage of it. Fear means opportunity, and the opportunity is here. If you’re buying rentals, how does this affect your cash flow? If you’re flipping homes, when should you start dropping prices before your listing gets too stale? These investors are buying, selling, and managing rentals in THIS market and giving tips on the best moves to make.
