Word of the year: "AFFORDABILITY"
The new real estate buzz word will be "affordability". We are going to start hearing this word everywhere.
325k loan at 3.75%/30 yrs = $1,505 monthly
325k loan at 6.25%/30 years = $2,001 monthly
What feels like overnight, the house you have had your eye on would now cost $5,952 more per year.
But what if you need your payment to stay the same? You went from a $325k house to a $244,00 house.
This changes the buying environment and the housing market dramatically. Affordability is the new buzz word in housing.

Is there a shift in the housing market?
We are all seeing headlines about the housing market crashing, the big bubble we're in, the sky is falling…..you name it, I’m sure we’ve seen it.
Here are our thoughts on this:
1) Media sources get paid for titles that sell and gain readers. Everything is always elevated.
2) Is the Market Shifting?
Yes, there is a subtle shift happening right now.
Why? Interest rates and buyer affordability.
Last year, interest rates were in the 2%’s.
Today, the average 30-year fixed is 5.45%.
Simply put, when interest rates go up buyers can’t afford to buy as high.
What we do know:
✅Pending sales are still outpacing new listings and buyer demand is still high.
