If you've been putting off buying a home because you're waiting to see what the market does next—let's be real, you're not alone. But here's the thing: no one has a crystal ball. And anyone who says they know exactly what's going to happen? Yeah, don't listen to them.
 

What we can tell you, though, is that there are patterns—things that have played out over decades—and those give us a pretty solid idea of what's coming. In this episode, we're breaking down 11 things we know will happen in real estate, from price trends and interest rates to first-home buyer incentives and why some properties will always be duds (yep, even in a booming market).

If you're waiting for the "perfect" time to buy, this one's for you. Let's talk about what actually matters so you can make smart decisions and move forward with confidence.
