Arizona Real Talk

On today's episode we dive into why now more than ever is a great time to buy a house. Yes interest rates are higher than before, but we have shifted fast into a buyers market. What that means for people that need to buy is that "SELLER CONSESSIONS" are back! That huge. Not only can you get the seller to help buy down your rate but the buyer now has more negotiating power. We are getting more and more closer to a balanced market where it's a even balance of power between buyers and sellers.
