“We're still in an affordability crisis,” Katie Hubbard says, with Existing Home Sales hitting the lowest in “30 years.” She thinks it will be “difficult” to get mortgage rates down to 6%, which would bring “about 160 thousand people” into the market as buyers. Over the next three years, she expects “3% price appreciation every single year.” The Midwest is seeing an “acceleration” in buying, while the coasts are seeing a drop. However, she notes that New Home Sales are cheaper because of builders pushing down prices.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
