Market Update 10/31/2024
In a year marked by economic fluctuations and shifting housing dynamics, the real estate market has continued to surprise and inspire. Amidst challenges, new opportunities have emerged, particularly with the rise of Gen Z and millennial buyers redefining the landscape.
Traditionally viewed with skepticism, these younger buyers have proven to be some of the most informed and strategic individuals in the market today. Despite the less-than-ideal interest rates, their decision to act swiftly speaks to a keen understanding of future market conditions.

At a young age, they already recognize the importance of not wasting money on rent and buying homes that will build equity and appreciation as an integral component of their long-term wealth portfolios. Their willingness to do what it takes to secure properties in competitive situations further highlights their strategic acumen.
