In this new 4-part series, we discuss buying homes in 2024 and the relationship between interest rates and home purchases. As we open the series, we tackle the daunting trifecta of taxes, home prices, and interest rates reshaping today's real estate market.

Our conversation delves deep into the cascading effects of mass migrations and state tax codes, offering you a fresh lens to view the ever-changing landscape of real estate. We peel back the layers of property taxes – a silent yet significant factor in the cost of homeownership – and discuss the strategic moves you can make to combat rising taxes and interest rates. Amidst these revelations, we don't just leave you with the challenges; we arm you with the financial literacy tools necessary to make empowered decisions, sidestepping the scarcity mindset that can cloud judgment.

Finally, prepare to time travel as we chart the history of mortgage interest rates from the eye-watering highs of the '70s to the lows of recent years. We explore how these fluctuations have shaped buyer behavior and the broader implications for the cost of homeownership, including maintenance and lifestyle adjustments. By the end of our exchange, you'll have a treasure trove of insights that we promise will elevate your understanding of the housing market and perhaps even your approach to securing your own slice of the American dream.
