Prospective homebuyers many times have a misconception about what is happening in the housing market and what is likely to happen in the weeks upcoming. This is so that the homebuyer is aware of facets of the housing market to make all the right decisions. The biggest one today is that many believe home prices will suffer a significant decline. This is a demographical stature such as homes in the Florida Dr Phillips and Central Florida area, prices will hold much more than for example homes in Utah. This is because of what the area has to offer to the public.

For the most-part it is unlikely the Central Florida area will not gravely suffer  because of this and housing shortage will hold prices that much more and putting upward pressure without a huge decline in listing prices.

The other misconception is to wait till the mortgage rates drop before buying a home. At this present time buyers have more negotiation power if they are currently a homeowner sitting on equity. For example buyers would return resulting in more competition, quicker sales and bidding wars with a housing shortage. On average as of January 1st, 2024 the number of homes up for sale is up 4% in the south. This is good news to buyers ears!
