I think there’s a group of homebuyers we’re going to look back at very differently.
The people who bought between now and early 2027.
Not because they perfectly timed the market.
Because they were willing to buy while everyone else was scared.
Right now, buyers are worried about rates. They’re questioning prices. Some are sitting on the sidelines waiting for the market to feel “safe” again.
And that hesitation may be the opportunity.
Less competition can mean more negotiating power, more seller flexibility, and more time to make a smart decision.
If mortgage rates move meaningfully lower, more buyers could come back.
And the house that has been sitting?
It may suddenly have three offers.
The opportunity may not be waiting for a better rate.
It may be buying before the crowd comes back.
If you're thinking about buying in Raleigh or anywhere in North Carolina, let's figure out whether today's market creates an opportunity for you.
