Right now, the rules have changed more than they have at any point in a generation. The buyers who understand that are finding deals. The ones who do not are making expensive mistakes.</p>

The reason is supply. Homeowners who locked in three percent mortgages in 2020 and 2021 have almost no incentive to sell, which means the correction that many analysts were expecting simply did not materialize the way the data suggested it should.</p>

That is a real problem, and it is not going away quickly. But affordability being stretched does not mean prices are about to fall sharply. What it means, practically, is that the buyer who can close confidently has more leverage than the headline numbers suggest.</p>
<p>Shop multiple loan officers to compare rates and fees. A seemingly small rate difference adds up to real money that most buyers leave on the table by taking the first offer they receive. Lender fees vary too. Do not compare rate quotes without also comparing origination fees, points, and closing costs.</p>

A low appraisal means the buyer has to make up the gap in cash, renegotiate, or cancel. Ask your agent how common appraisal gaps have been in your target price range and neighborhood.</p>
<p>Budget enough to cover origination fees, title, escrow, prepaid taxes, and insurance without being caught short at the table. First-time buyers are sometimes surprised by how much cash is required beyond the down payment itself. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate with a realistic purchase price so the numbers reflect what you are actually going to face.</p>

No one consistently times the real estate market. The more useful question is not whether now is the right time in the abstract; it is whether the home works for your actual life for the next five to seven years.</p>
