Quick, what credit score do you need to buy a home? If a number pops into your head, there's a pretty good chance it's wrong.

Ryan Serhant, CEO of SERHANT, says there isn’t just 1 housing market right now. There are really 4: cash buyers, buyers who need a mortgage, homeowners with low mortgage rates, and builders.

Here's something most homebuyers don't think about. When the housing market slows down, homeowners and builders don't always respond the same way.

When mortgage rates climb, buying a home can start to feel like trying to hit a moving target. Every jump in rates makes monthly payments bigger, and that pushes a lot of buyers to look for another way in.

Selling your house is a big step, and you want it to go smoothly. And with houses taking a little longer to sell these days, renting it out might start to sound like a nice backup plan.

Whether you own a house already or you’re looking to buy one, you probably care about home prices.

When you picture buying your first home, chances are you’re imagining a traditional single-family house with its own yard, maybe a garage, and little extra room to grow. But with affordability still tight, getting everything on that list right away may come with a higher price tag than you’re comfortable with right now.

If you’ve seen headlines saying home sales are slowing down, you may be wondering: is this really a good time to sell?

Mortgage rates being back above 7% isn't exactly the news most people wanted. But it’s changing the market in ways that matter whether you’re buying or selling.

With everything going on, it’s understandable if you’re wondering if you’d regret buying right now.

You've spent years making your house feel like home, celebrating milestones, making each room your own, and turning neighbors into friends. As you look ahead to the next chapter of your life, it's natural to wonder if this is still the place you want to spend it.

For a lot of first-time buyers, owning a home can feel perpetually a few years out of reach.

Higher mortgage rates don't just affect buyers. They can change what it takes to sell your house, too.

Price cuts are turning up everywhere right now, and they read very differently depending on which side of the deal you’re on.

Today’s housing market splits into four distinct types. You’ve got cash buyers, buyers financing a purchase, owners who feel locked into a low rate, and builders with homes to sell.

If you're trying to buy a home, affordability is probably what keeps you up at night.

Selling your house this fall is absolutely doable. But there’s something you need to know about this time of year.

Want to buy a house this year, but not sure if the timing’s right? Seasonally, it may actually be a better time to buy than you expect.

Summer's winding down, and if you've been thinking about selling, you might be wondering if you missed your chance.
