🏡National Real Estate Update:

Some encouraging news for the housing market! A new bipartisan housing law is designed to help increase the supply of homes by reducing building barriers and limiting large institutional investors from buying existing single-family homes.

Inflation also cooled in June, which is a positive sign for the economy. However, global events have kept mortgage rates in the mid-6% range, continuing to impact buyer activity.

While today's market has its challenges, opportunities still exist for both buyers and sellers with the right strategy. If you're wondering what these changes mean for your local market, I'm happy to help!
