HALO Master Chief Analyzes Housing Market Trends for Second Half of 2024

Rock Bottom or Sky High?

As Glenn Kelman said 'We've hit rock bottom in the first quarter of 2024.' But are we about to soar to new heights or stumble down the rabbit hole? Only time will tell but Master Chief is here to provide some insights from the front lines.

The Golden Handcuff Effect

Ah the golden handcuff effect a dilemma not even the Covenant could concoct. Homeowners hoarding those low mortgage rates like they're hunting for Forerunner artifacts. But fear not the tides are turning with newly listed homes on the rise and inventory finally showing some Spartan strength.

Interest Rates: A Roller Coaster Ride

Mortgage rates dropping faster than a Grunt in combat? Could it be true? While rates are getting some plasma grenade love buyers are no Master Chief on a Covenant ship speeding toward the nearest airlock. With Fed talks looming will interest rates be allies or foes to the housing market?

Price Wars and Homefront Battles

Prices remain as sturdy as an overshield refusing to give way despite market melees. While some areas see price softening others are more fortified than a Forerunner installation. Homebuyers might need more firepower than a Spartan laser to find affordability in this market.
