🏡 Fixer-Uppers, Price Cuts, and a New Playbook 🛠️

Mortgage rates have stayed near 6.7% in 2025, but that hasn’t stopped a quiet shift in the housing market. Inventory is rising and nearly 40% of listed homes are cutting prices, giving buyers more negotiating power. While overbuilt Sun Belt cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas show warning signs, secondary markets like Colorado Springs are gaining attention from investors, thanks to solid job growth and underdeveloped rental supply. Experts say this isn’t a crash, it’s a correction—and a prime time to buy or invest in well-located properties that offer good cash flow, especially before the next economic cycle shifts again. *Source

💸 Mortgage Forecast: Hope Ahead?

Mortgage rates in 2025 have stayed stubbornly high, hovering just under 7% despite earlier forecasts predicting a drop. The Federal Reserve has paused cuts again amid global uncertainty and tariff-driven inflation, but it still anticipates two cuts later this year. This means mortgage rates could ease slightly by late 2025, but not significantly enough to return to 2020–2021 levels.

For current homeowners, refinancing only makes sense if your rate is above 6%. For buyers, it’s more about affordability and timing than chasing the lowest possible rate. Industry experts advise keeping an eye on economic shifts—but not sitting on the sidelines too long. *Read Source
