Housing Market Is Changing

About this episode

Eddie Ruettiger discusses the changing housing market in light of improving inflation data and its implications for buyers and sellers.

Inflation data is looking better — but what does that actually mean for rates and housing? This week on Get Real with Eddie, we break down improving inflation numbers, why down payments are shrinking, and why cash buyers are starting to step back. We also dive into how to make your equity work for you, what’s happening with inventory levels, and why move-up buyers are leaning toward new construction. Plus, we review the latest sales data for Morris, Illinois. If you’re buying, selling, or thinking about leveraging your equity in today’s market — this episode is for you. #RealEstate #HousingMarket #IllinoisRealEstate #MorrisIL #InventoryUpdate #HomeEquity #NewConstruction #MoveUpBuyers #InflationNews #MarketUpdate #GetRealWithEddie Chapters 00:00:00 Inflation Data Looks Good00:08:40 Down Payments Dip & Cash Buyers Retreat00:20:27 Making Your Equity Work for You00:28:49 Sales Data for Morris, IL00:31:19 Inventory Is Making a Comeback00:45:25 Move-Up Buyers Are Choosing New Construction
