The housing market is changing. Some once-hot markets are showing signs of becoming buyer’s markets, giving you a better opportunity to snag your next real estate deal. With days-on-market growing but underlying fundamentals looking strong, this could be one of the best times to buy houses in cities that have phenomenal long-term potential but haven’t heated up again to become seller’s markets.
Why not skip the competition and buy in great markets beginning to cool? Today, we share some of the best markets to buy in, with the biggest investment opportunities. Data scientist Austin Wolff is back to talk about the “coldest” markets that have the best buying potential and some affordable cities that still have below-average home prices but well above-average housing market metrics.
We’re talking about why these buyer’s markets are suddenly emerging, Dave’s favorite “cold” market with serious potential, Kathy’s famous money-making market seeing massive job growth, and what to look for when buying in these (temporarily) chilled housing markets.
Dave:
For the past few years, we’ve all heard that the market has been stagnant, but maybe now as we enter 2025, the market isn’t actually as frozen as a lot of people think. So the question is, which cities are starting to thaw and why does it matter for investors? In today’s episode, we’re exploring emerging data that shows how some markets are beginning to heat back up, right when everyone else thinks real estate is on ice. Hey everyone, welcome to On the Market. I’m Dave Meyer, and today we got a special episode talking about thawing markets where potentially there are better deals starting to come on the market. We’re talking about gems that might be overlooked in markets that have really strong fundamentals to talk about this today we have our in-house data guru, Austin Wolff, who’s been digging into the numbers to find these hidden opportunities. Austin, great to have you on the show….
