“Demand is outpacing inventory, which leads to higher prices," said Ms. Hairston. "Working with a realtor can help you determine your best housing option. Shopping for homes is not just price comparisons online; it’s understanding neighborhoods, school options, and evaluating what the right move is for you. More than an app, a Realtor walks with you every step of the way in your homeownership journey. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a homeowner, contact a Realtor."
