There's nothing quite like the excitement of getting an offer on your house. You're one step closer to moving on to what's next. But what happens if that buyer backs out or ghosts you before closing?

Ryan Serhant, CEO of SERHANT, says there isn’t just 1 housing market right now. There are really 4: cash buyers, buyers who need a mortgage, homeowners with low mortgage rates, and builders.

Selling your house is a big step, and you want it to go smoothly. And with houses taking a little longer to sell these days, renting it out might start to sound like a nice backup plan.

Whether you own a house already or you’re looking to buy one, you probably care about home prices.

If you’ve seen headlines saying home sales are slowing down, you may be wondering: is this really a good time to sell?

Mortgage rates being back above 7% isn't exactly the news most people wanted. But it’s changing the market in ways that matter whether you’re buying or selling.

You've spent years making your house feel like home, celebrating milestones, making each room your own, and turning neighbors into friends. As you look ahead to the next chapter of your life, it's natural to wonder if this is still the place you want to spend it.

You've probably heard the Federal Reserve (the Fed) is raising rates again. And if you're planning to buy or sell a house, you may be wondering what that means for you.

Higher mortgage rates don't just affect buyers. They can change what it takes to sell your house, too.

Price cuts are turning up everywhere right now, and they read very differently depending on which side of the deal you’re on.

Today’s housing market splits into four distinct types. You’ve got cash buyers, buyers financing a purchase, owners who feel locked into a low rate, and builders with homes to sell.

Selling your house this fall is absolutely doable. But there’s something you need to know about this time of year.

Summer's winding down, and if you've been thinking about selling, you might be wondering if you missed your chance.

Data centers probably weren't on your list of things to think about when buying or selling a home.

Ask a couple people how the housing market is doing and you’ll probably get a couple different answers. That’s because right now, the market runs on 2 very different tracks, split by price point.

Most sellers come into the market with one number in mind. And it’s often the one that costs them the most. That's their asking price.

Cutting out the agent might seem like a smart way to save when you sell your house. But here’s the hard truth.

There’s one decision you're going to make when you sell that determines whether your house sells quickly, or it sits.

A recent survey from Talker Research asked Americans to pick one word to describe how 2026 has felt so far. The winner? Stressful. And honestly, there’s been a lot going on.

Few things are as rattling as the thought of your home sale falling through at the last minute, right before closing. All that waiting, all that progress, out the window.

When's the last time someone told you what your house is worth? Not what some online valuation tool guessed. Not what your neighbor's house sold for. What yours is actually worth right now.

You may have heard the number of homes for sale isn’t growing like it was. And maybe that has you worried you won’t find a home you love when it’s time to make your move.

That spare room on the main floor. The finished basement with a kitchenette and its own entrance. The bonus room you've been using for storage. To you, it's extra space. But to a growing pool of buyers, it's the reason they'd pick your house.

Ask around and almost every homebuyer out there wants to know if there’s a way to get a better deal. And just about every seller wants to know if they'll still get top dollar.

If you're waiting for mortgage rates to fall a lot before you buy, you may be waiting a while.
