What\u2019s shaping the experience for buyers right now? It\u2019s not just about one thing, but the way lower mortgage rates, steady income growth, and a slowdown in home-price increases all come together over time. The real measure is how monthly payments stack up against household income. When loan amounts go up, rates rise, or earnings don\u2019t keep pace, it puts extra pressure on buyers. On the flip side, relief comes when any of these factors shift in your favor.
