LOOKING AHEAD
A little more room to compare—and continued uncertainty.
National headlines are context. Your local market and situation still matter most.
Recent national housing news points in more than one direction. Mortgage rates eased a little late in October, and more homes are available in some parts of the country. This may give some buyers more room to compare.
At the same time, affordability is still difficult for many people. Inflation, future mortgage-rate moves, and the election continue to create uncertainty. These national headlines are not a forecast for Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, or Hardeeville.
We may see more clearly after the election which direction the wider market is taking. In any case, every situation is different. My life principle has always been that there is an opportunity in every individual situation. If you are considering selling or buying, let’s look at your individual situation and your best option.
