After years in retail, I understand how timing and affordability can shape big decisions—whether it’s a wardrobe update or buying a home. If you’re hoping that waiting a few more years will make homebuying easier, here’s what the latest projections suggest: by 2027, mortgage rates are likely to hover around 7%, and home prices are expected to rise another 2.2%. Factors like inflation and continued high building costs are keeping affordability tight, even if we see some price relief in 2026. In Tampa, as in fashion, finding the right moment and fit is more art than science. My own journey from New York to Tampa taught me that making confident choices often means working with what’s available, not just waiting for the stars to align. If you’re weighing your options, I’m always here to help you find your perfect fit in this ever-evolving market.
