New Year. New Market. New Opportunities. 🏡📊

We’re stepping into the new year with a real estate market that’s still adjusting — and that’s exactly where wholesalers win.

📉 Mortgage rates ended last year hovering in the mid-6% range, down from the highs above 7%. That hasn’t brought back a buyer frenzy, but it has increased deal flow and serious buyer activity.

🏠 Inventory is up year-over-year (roughly 8–10% nationally), giving wholesalers more motivated sellers — especially landlords, inherited properties, and owners with equity but little patience.

💰 Cash buyers are still dominating off-market deals. In many metro areas, 25–30% of all home purchases are cash, which keeps wholesaling very much alive.

📊 Distress indicators (pre-foreclosures, probate, tired landlords) are slowly rising — not a crash, but a steady stream of opportunity for those who know how to work lists and follow up.

This is a relationship, negotiation, and consistency market — not a “spray and pray” one. Those who understand value, control contracts, and build buyer confidence will thrive this year.

New year, same rule: the market rewards the prepared, not the loudest. Let’s move smart. 🔑💼
