“Is it a buyer’s or a seller’s market right now?”
We hear this question often. It’s a bit like asking, “What is the weather like in the U.S. today?” Well, like the current housing market, it’s hot here and cold over there. Earlier this year, we saw buyers wait for declining home prices and scant competition, while many sellers expected the soaring prices and intense competition we experienced in 2021. But things have changed.
Now, more sellers are sitting on the sidelines – many feeling locked in their current interest rates – and as a result, supply is dwindling. In fact, new listings are the ..read more

This post is written by Kris Thordarson, a first-time homebuyer and Opendoor customer.
If you told me a couple of years ago that I would buy my first-ever home at the age of 26, I would have laughed out loud.
But despite my earlier doubts, here I am, a new homeowner, sitting in the backyard of my house in Austin. Before I moved to Austin a few months ago, I was living in Los Angeles, working remotely in the pharmaceutical industry. My partner was in San Francisco. We both dreamed of owning and investing in real estate to build wealth for our futures. He and I had saved some money and wanted to ..read more

If you’re thinking about selling your home, you’re probably keeping a close eye on the real estate market, which has experienced some wild and historic milestones over the last couple of years. In 2021, mortgage rates dropped to an all-time low of 2.65%; just a year later, they climbed to 7.08% – the highest spike in 20 years, which is one reason housing inventory across the country has reached a record low.
The speed of these fluctuations is unprecedented. What should we expect in 2023? Many sellers are still cautiously on the sidelines, due in part to a traditional listing experience that ca ..read more
