+There is a version of the housing market story that gets told over and over, and it goes like this: prices are high, rates are high, nothing is affordable, and the only people buying are the ones with cash. That version is not wrong, exactly. It is just incomplete.
+
+In markets where developers managed to bring inventory to market faster than demand absorbed it, prices have pulled back. Phoenix, Austin, and parts of Florida saw corrections of ten to fifteen percent from peak levels in some submarkets. But those are the exceptions. Most markets are not working from excess; they are working from scarcity.
+
+Affordability, by the standard measure of what share of median household income goes toward the monthly payment on a median-priced home, is near its worst level since the early 1980s. That is a real problem, and it is not going away quickly. But affordability being stretched does not mean prices are about to fall sharply. What it means, practically, is that the pool of qualified buyers is smaller than it was three years ago.
+
+Before you look at a single listing, get your mortgage pre-approval completed and in hand. Not a rough estimate. Not a verbal confirmation from a loan officer you met once. A full pre-approval based on verified income, tax returns, bank statements, and a hard credit pull. In this market, a seller who receives an offer without that documentation will not take it seriously.
+
+If the report surfaces findings that change the financial picture of the deal, you have real choices, and walking away is a legitimate one of them. You can ask the seller to repair specific items before closing. What you should not do is panic and waive your right to negotiate.
+
+Price matters, but terms matter too. The buyer who calls the listing agent before submitting, asks what matters to the seller, and builds the offer around that information wins more often than the buyer who simply goes the highest.
+
+Real estate is illiquid. Buying and selling inside two years is almost always a money-losing proposition once you account for the full cost of both transactions. None of that means do not buy. It means be honest about your time horizon before you commit.
+
+Real estate rewards preparation more than it rewards timing. Nobody consistently calls the top or the bottom of a market, but buyers who show up informed and financially ready close deals in every cycle.
