In the challenging real estate market of 2025, home buying feels daunting due to high mortgage rates and increased home prices. Barbara Corcoran highlights several financial concerns beyond just home prices, such as rising property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. However, there are positive aspects, such as price drops in certain U.S. regions. To gain a competitive edge, Corcoran advises looking at older listings that have been overlooked and shopping during the off-season to avoid high competition.
"When a house is on the market for six months or longer, nobody's paying attention. Make sure you look at the old listings, that's where a low offer will be accepted."
"Everyone is out in the spring and summer, so you should be shopping in the winter. This can yield better deals and less competition for homebuyers."
