As housing cools, some buyers get a second chance to grab their first choice
Got outbid on your dream home? You could get another crack at it.
U.S. homebuyers are backing out of purchases at the highest rate since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to real estate broker Redfin.
But is it a slight correction in pricing or a recession-prompted trend? Depends, experts say. Jessica Lautz, the National Association of Realtor's vice president of demographics and behavioral insights, said the market is not balanced – yet – but some homebuyers now have a better chance of getting their preferred choice than a few months ago.
"Some higher-income home buyers may have a second bite at the buying apple due to less competition in the marketplace, but they would only have a better chance because other lower-income home buyers were pushed to the sidelines," Lautz said.
She said local inventory, affordability, and the job market will play key factors in who benefits from the trend.
