Why I’m Telling You Not to Buy a Home Right Now
Is buying still the smarter move—or has renting officially taken the lead?
In this week’s Phoenix housing market update, Caitlin breaks down why the buy vs rent equation has completely changed in 2025.
We’ll cover how long you really need to stay in a home before buying makes sense, why affordability is more than just prices and rates, and how rising costs like homeowners insurance and debt-to-income ratios are reshaping the housing market.
Plus, Caitlin shares the latest updates on:
• The Fed’s 25-basis-point rate cut and what it means for mortgage rates
• Redfin’s new data showing the lowest home turnover in decades
• What’s happening with Phoenix home sales, supply, and demand
• The latest Cromford Market Index (CMI) numbers
• Updates on TSMC’s North Phoenix expansion
Whether you’re renting, buying, or just keeping an eye on the market, this episode will help you make sense of where things are really headed.
