That version is not wrong, exactly. It is just incomplete.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.sigmasoftwares.org/img/realesate.png" style="max-width:450px;float:right;padding:10px 0px 10px 10px;border:0px">The arithmetic here is brutal and worth understanding clearly. A buyer who financed a $400,000 home at three percent in 2021 pays roughly $1,686 per month on principal and interest. That same loan at a seven percent rate costs $2,661. Those numbers explain why the market froze rather than crashed when rates moved higher. Volume collapsed. Prices mostly did not.</p>
<p>Affordability, by the standard measure of what share of median household income goes toward the monthly payment on a median-priced home, is near its worst level since the early 1980s. That is a real problem, and it is not going away quickly. A market can stay unaffordable for longer than most buyers expect to wait. What it means, practically, is that fewer people can compete for each property.</p>
<p>Before you look at a single listing, get your mortgage pre-approval completed and in hand. Not a rough estimate. Not a verbal confirmation from a loan officer you met once. A full pre-approval based on verified income, tax returns, bank statements, and a hard credit pull. In this market, a seller who receives an offer without that documentation will not take it seriously.</p>
<p>If the report surfaces findings that change the financial picture of the deal, you have real choices, and walking away is a legitimate one of them. You can ask the seller to repair specific items before closing. What you should not do is panic and waive your right to negotiate.</p>
<p>Negotiation works best when it is quiet and well-prepared. Before you make an offer, find out whether there are other offers on the table or offers that have already fallen through. A listing that has been sitting for six weeks with no price adjustment is a fundamentally different negotiation than one that just hit the market at an aggressive price.</p>
<p>For buyers with a stable income, a down payment of at least ten percent, and a concrete plan to stay in the home for at least five years, this market is full of opportunity that distracted or impatient buyers miss. The homes that are right for a specific buyer’s actual needs are still moving. They are going to the buyers who treated the process like the major financial decision it is.</p>
