In 2024, the real estate market exhibits a fascinating paradox. While mortgage rates have recently decreased, creating a more appealing environment for homebuyers, the challenge lies in the unpredictability of these rates. Despite predictions of a further drop in mortgage rates, possibly into the high fives, the Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate cuts add complexity to the decision-making process for potential buyers. In major cities like San Francisco, the work-from-home trend has led to a departure from the downtown areas, negatively impacting real estate values. However, across most of the United States, the restricted supply of available homes continues to push prices upward. This scarcity is partly due to current homeowners hesitating to sell and lose their low-interest rate mortgages. Experts suggest that now could be an opportune time for buyers, with the potential for refinancing if rates continue to fall. Yet, they caution against trying to time the market, advising buyers to focus on current affordability and long-term plans.
