🏡 Is It Finally Getting Easier to Buy a Home? Here’s What You Should Know This Fall

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right moment to jump into the housing market — this might be your sign.

For the first time in a while, affordability is showing signs of improvement. That doesn't mean the market is suddenly "easy" again, but it does mean that for many buyers, the math is starting to work in their favor.

Here are 3 reasons why:

1. Mortgage Rates Are Dropping

Earlier this year, mortgage rates hovered around 7%. Today, they’ve dipped closer to 6.3% — and that difference can save buyers nearly $200 a month on a $400K mortgage. According to Redfin, the typical monthly payment is now $290 lower than it was just a few months ago.

2. Home Price Growth Has Slowed

We’re no longer seeing wild bidding wars and runaway prices like in 2021–2022. In fact, home price growth is now in the low single digits and holding steady — making it easier to plan your budget and find a home that fits your goals.

3. Wages Are Rising

For the first time in years, wage growth is outpacing home price growth. That means your paycheck might go further than you think when it comes to affording a home — and that’s a win for buyers across DFW.

💡 What Does This Mean for You?

If you're thinking about buying, this fall might be a window of opportunity. Between better rates, more stable prices, and rising wages, you could be in a stronger position than you were just a few months ago.

Before you write off 2025 as “still too expensive,” let’s run the numbers together.
