    The Arizona Real Estate Market is a dumpster fire thanks to the iBuyers who continue to scramble to get their homes sold. The only thing they can do is lower prices, which is what they have continued to do. For any buyer looking for a deal, looking at the homes listed with an iBuyer is the best place to start.

  2. As of August, the lagged Case-Shiller Index showed that U.S. home prices had fallen 1.3% from their June 2022 peak. That marks the first decline since 2012. It’s also likely well below the actual drop. Just look at the 7.6% decline in third quarter U.S. home equity, as reported on Friday by Black Knight. That’s the biggest home equity drop ($1.3 trillion) ever recorded, and the biggest percentage drop since 2009.

    When it’s all said and done, Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi thinks this ongoing housing correction will push national housing fundamentals back in line with historic norms.

    “Before prices began to decline, we were overvalued [nationally] by around 25%. Now, this means prices will normalize. Affordability will be restored. The [housing] market won’t be overvalued after this process is over,” Zandi says.

  3. After years of a red-hot housing market, something “inconceivable” now is happening, according to Realtor.com: Home prices are falling.

    Higher mortgage rates are tanking demand, as more buyers find themselves unable to afford today’s still-elevated home prices. As a result, prices are slipping more than would be expected during the normal “cooling off” period that occurs every autumn, Realtor.com says.

    Home prices remain up 14% year over year but are now down from their June peak. And in some markets, the decline is especially pronounced.
