Katie Hubbard says disparity between buyers and sellers in the housing market is the highest in 12 years: “There’s just not buyers.” She sees an average of 7% discounts on new houses, and larger homebuilders are buying down mortgage rates to as low as the 3%s. “It’s really an affordability issue…it’s twice as expensive to own a home as it is to rent.” She also notes how homebuilders are changing their building trends, focusing on walkability and catering to an older consumer.
