Blaming it.
Rates skyrocketing. Houses disappearing. Your dream of escaping your "almost perfect but absolutely maddening" house slipping through your fingers forever.
Sounds terrifying, right?
But here's the twist, you’re being played. The media loves spinning tales of doom like a Netflix thriller.
Is the market actually the problem? Or are we just using it as an excuse to avoid making tough decisions?
Blaming “the market” is like yelling at traffic for being late. Yeah, it’s annoying. But you chose to leave five minutes before the meeting started.
Rates go up, inventory dips and the stars never align perfectly for that magical move.
Sitting around waiting for the “perfect moment” means one thing: you're stuck. Same cramped kitchen, same hallway traffic jams, same fight over closet space.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth, the market isn’t your problem. Not having a plan is.
You don’t beat the market by waiting. You beat it by having a strategy, one that’s tailored to your actual life.
That’s why people who plan always win. They’re not perfect. They’re prepared.
So ask yourself: what’s scarier?
Interest rates climbing another percent?
Or spending yet another year living on top of each other, frustrated and stuck, while someone else moves into the home you should’ve had?
Because let’s face it, there’s nothing scarier than watching your life hit pause while the world moves forward without you.
