Maybe your family's grown and you need more space, or maybe you're retired and you're like super ready to downsize, but then you look at the

payment on your next house and you're like, I literally can't make this work.

And a lot of people who do sell right now and are giving up those great rates are selling because life forces the issue.

Something like a death or a divorce or relocating because of a job.

Otherwise, staying put may make the most financial sense.

Long term, we need to build more affordable homes.

And that's why you've heard us talk about the 21st century Road to Housing Act the last couple of times we've been here.

Pretty much.

And this landmark new housing law is designed to make it easier and cheaper to build new home.

But like we've said before, those changes are going to take years to play out.

So if you do want to buy now and you're looking for practical advice, I'd say be disciplined, but stay flexible.

First, know your must-haves and know your deal breakers.

So that way, limited inventory doesn't make you feel pressured into a compromise that isn't the right fit for you.

And then figure out where you can flex.

Maybe you're flexible on exactly which neighborhood you want to buy in, or maybe

Maybe you start looking at new construction or maybe you're looking at a townhouse or a condo instead of a detached single family home.

And finally, of course, be ready.

Have your finances lined up, have your pre-approval ready.

So that way when a good listing appears, you're all locked in and you're ready to move quickly.

A lot of it is just human behavior.
