This episode of the Real Estate Market Analysis Show with Rowena Patton equips you with the tools you need to make smart decisions, whether you're buying, selling, or just staying informed. We start by tackling questions from our listeners—Linda in Raleigh, Pete in Black Mountain, and Michael from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Their inquiries about home values, property taxes, and the buy vs. rent differential open up a detailed discussion on how mortgage payments and income dynamics have evolved over time.

Learn how these trends might signal broader economic shifts and discover strategies to navigate a market rife with overpriced homes due to recent buying frenzies. By the end of this chapter, you'll have a clearer sense of how new home inventory impacts market stability and what it means for buyers and sellers alike.
