+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.
+
+The arithmetic here is brutal and worth understanding clearly. A buyer who financed a $400,000 home at three percent in 2021 pays roughly $1,686 per month on principal and interest. That same loan at a seven percent rate costs $2,661. The difference between those two payments explains why so many potential sellers are sitting tight. Volume collapsed. Prices mostly did not.
+
+Here is what that creates for someone who is financially prepared and ready to move: less competition than you would have faced in 2021 or 2022. The panic buyers are gone. The buyers who showed up with letters waiving inspections and offering a hundred thousand over asking have mostly sat back down. What remains is a more functional market, even if it is not a cheap one.
+
+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. Without that letter, you are not a buyer, you are a browser.
+
+If the report surfaces significant deferred maintenance or structural issues, you have three options, not one, and walking away is a legitimate one of them. You can request a credit against the purchase price to handle repairs yourself. Signing off on a failing roof or a bad HVAC system is not the same house you made an offer on.
+
+Price matters, but terms matter too. A longer closing window, a shorter inspection period, a larger earnest money deposit, or willingness to do a rent-back period can all tip a deal in your favor without you spending an extra dollar on the purchase price.
+
+Real estate is illiquid. If there is a reasonable chance you will need to move in two years, renting is the financially rational choice. None of that means do not buy. It means be honest about your time horizon before you commit.
+
+The buyers who come out ahead in this market are not the ones who waited for perfect conditions. They are the ones who understood what they could afford and moved with confidence.
