As a REALTOR of over 10 years i have seen how pricing has affected many of my clients. I also own a property management company and have seen tenant after tenant who desperately want to put their roots down and be home owners but their income and the cost of housing has priced them out. I have several buyers right now that qualify for 400k. Naturally one would think that is a great range for a starter home. But sadly no. Though a few homes have come on the market in this price range the care of the home or size simply doesn’t work for my clients. They don’t have the extra cash to fix things to be habitual for their family, and even if they did these homes are flying off the market faster then we can see them. Please help us help you and your family by opening up the housing market. Let the free market be free and watch as we can solve the housing crisis by allowing builders and developers to bring forth the housing types and options that people are asking for and removing the barriers to home ownership.
