ARMs are getting more attention again because they can make buying a home more affordable in the short term. But they’re not right for everyone.

Thinking About an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage? Here’s What You Need To Know. If you’ve been looking for a home lately, you’ve probably felt how tough affordability still is.

Scroll through your social feed, and you may come across something that says investors are buying all the homes right now. But housing market data tells a different story.

Only 0.4% of the 86 million single-family homes in the U.S. are owned by large investors (those with over 1,000 properties) today. That's a lot less than headlines would have you think.

So, if that’s been shaping how you see your chances of buying, it might be worth looking at things a little differently.

You’ve probably seen influencers online saying home prices are about to crash. But don’t believe everything you hear.

This is what housing market experts are saying.

Nationally, home prices are expected to keep rising over the next five years. Not at the breakneck pace we saw a few years back, but steadily.

So, where’s the confusion coming from? Some markets are seeing small price declines right now – and that’s what’s getting amplified online. But it’s not the full picture.

When you average price trends across the entire country together, prices are going up, not down. And this isn’t a crash.
