In this episode of Real Talk with Matt, host Matt Socci breaks down one of the strangest housing market trends we’ve seen — lower mortgage rates, yet fewer buyers. Matt dives into what’s really driving the slowdown across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, from rising insurance premiums to unpredictable property taxes, and why so many potential homeowners are still sitting on the sidelines.
He explains how to look beyond the rate and understand your true cost of ownership, and shares practical, real-world strategies to win in this unusual market — including tips on builder incentives, assumable loans, and how to make your offer stand out against cash buyers.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to buy, this episode will change how you see the market — and might just show you that the right time is now.
🎧 Tune in, take notes, and let’s anchor your path to homeownership.
