Episode 78: Understanding the Shift to a Buyer's Market in Real Estate
The U.S. housing markets are witnessing a significant shift towards a buyer's market, with 78 locations flipping in favor of homebuyers. This trend is particularly evident in cities such as Cape Coral, San Antonio, and parts of the Sun Belt, where inventory levels have returned to pre-pandemic figures. This change is driven by a combination of affordability challenges and builder incentives, creating a cooler market environment.

While some areas remain competitive, this shift indicates potential changes in home prices and market conditions expected by 2025. The episode provides an in-depth analysis of these developments and discusses strategies for navigating this evolving landscape.
