Does Your Current Home Fit Your Retirement Plans?

Do you think the housing market is about to crash? The experts (and the data) say otherwise. Home prices are still rising at the national level, just not as fast as they were in recent years. And that’s not a sign of a crash. It’s a sign of more balance. As more homes hit the market, buyers have more options, and that slows down how quickly prices rise. It’s not falling prices. It’s a healthier pace of home price growth. How does knowing prices are still rising, but more slowly, affect the way you’re thinking about your next move?

When you put your house on the market, you want to sell it quickly and for the best price possible; that's generally the goal. But too many sellers are shooting too high right now. They don’t realize the market has shifted as inventory has grown. The side effect? Price cuts are on the rise, but they really don’t have to be. Here’s why. According to data from Realtor.com, in February, price cuts were the highest they’ve been in any other February since 2019 (see graph below):

Buying your first home in today’s market can feel tough. Between high home prices and mortgage rates, affordability is still a big challenge. And some buyers are making one simple trade-off that’s getting them in the door faster: square footage. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 35% of buyers are willing to purchase something smaller to make homeownership happen. And one place you can usually find a smaller footprint (and sometimes better affordability) is in townhomes. Why Townhomes Are Gaining Popularity Townhomes typically cost less than single-family homes due to their more limited size. And that’s a big plus for today’s budget-conscious buyer. As Realtor.com says: "In today's market, affordability remains a key priority for homebuyers, making townhomes an attractive option because they are often priced more reasonably than single-family homes . It makes them especially appealing to first-time homebuyers on a tighter budget . . ." So, if you're trying to buy but feeling stuck because of rising prices, shifting your focus to townhomes could be one way to get into homeownership without maxing out your budget. Builders Are Responding to the Demand Builders have seen buyers’ appetite shift to smaller homes, and they’re adjusting to meet the demand. As Joel Berner, Senior Economist at Realtor.com, explains: "Builders are making a concerted effort to provide smaller, more affordable inventory to the market in a way that the existing-home market cannot. Townhomes are a significant portion of that effort ." And the numbers back it up. According to data from Realtor.com, townhomes now make up a bigger share of new construction listings than they did just a couple of years ago (see graph below):
