Investors are pulling back for similar reasons as homebuyers: high borrowing costs, elevated home prices, and economic uncertainty. Still, many investors are likely taking advantage of the buyer’s market and getting a deal on certain homes. #realestate

Today’s weak jobs report all but guarantees that the Fed will cut interest rates later this month, and that’s sending mortgage rates down today. Mortgage rates are unlikely to fall more after the Fed meeting unless they forecast more cuts. #mortgagerates

For serious house hunters, there are several reasons to take advantage of today’s market 👇 · Mortgage rates are unlikely to fall further · Buyers have more negotiating power · There are more listings than a year ago, but some sellers are pulling back https://t.co/PUvmWjI1lK
