How to Make a Smart Move in an Uncertain Market

The market is not processing the tariff news well. How should buyers process instability? 

Start by focusing on what you can control:

  • Can you comfortably afford a home?
  • Are the headlines truly impacting your day-to-day life?

Now look at the opportunity in the market:

  • Inventory is up 35% compared to this time last year.
  • Price reductions are increasing, and sellers are more willing to negotiate.
  • Rates just hit their lowest point since October.

While the market may feel uncertain, history shows that home values often rise during recessions. That means today’s instability could work in your favor.
