Quick, what credit score do you need to buy a home? If a number pops into your head, there’s a pretty good chance it’s wrong.

Ryan Serhant, CEO of SERHANT, says there isn’t just 1 housing market right now. There are really 4: cash buyers, buyers who need a mortgage, homeowners with low mortgage rates, and builders.

Here’s something most homebuyers don’t think about. When the housing market slows down, homeowners and builders don’t always respond the same way.

When mortgage rates climb, buying a home can start to feel like trying to hit a moving target. Every jump in rates makes monthly payments bigger, and that pushes a lot of buyers to look for another way in.

Whether you own a house already or you’re looking to buy one, you probably care about home prices.

When you picture buying your first home, chances are you’re imagining a traditional single-family house with its own yard, maybe a garage, and little extra room to grow. But with affordability still tight, getting everything on that list right away may come with a higher price tag than you’re comfortable with right now.

Mortgage rates being back above 7% isn’t exactly the news most people wanted. But it’s changing the market in ways that matter whether you’re buying or selling.

With everything going on, it’s understandable if you’re wondering if you’d regret buying right now.

You’ve probably heard the Federal Reserve (the Fed) is raising rates again. And if you’re planning to buy or sell a house, you may be wondering what that means for you.

For a lot of first-time buyers, owning a home can feel perpetually a few years out of reach.
