Price cuts are hitting the housing market fast, and Wall Street is paying close attention. A new real estate fund just raised $6 billion specifically to invest, signaling that now could be close to the bottom for investment properties. Should you follow their lead, and if you do, which markets are seeing the biggest price cuts where you can pick up discounted deals well below asking price? We’re sharing the top cities with price cuts, why Wall Street is betting on real estate, and a strong sign for the housing market in this headlines episode!

Young homebuyers are taking the reins as first-time homebuyer demand starts to rebound in a big way. We weren’t kidding about returning to a “healthy housing market,” and this data may be a sign it’s true!

The housing market is shifting, and we could be rebounding from years of high prices and stagnant sales. Investors need to pay attention, because the signals are pointing to big changes. Want to get in the know? Stick around! We’re sharing it all in this episode.
