Mortgage rates settling in the low-to-mid 6% range, paired with national inventory climbing nearly 9%, give buyers room to make informed decisions without the frenzied pressure of recent years. Affordability is steadily improving as income growth outpaces modest price increases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Vic Markarian, a widely recognized <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/top-real-estate-listing-agent-in-granada-hills-ca-advises-homeowners-on-leveraging-mortgage-forbearance-to-avoid-foreclosure_805111.html\">real estate listing agent in Montrose, CA<\/a>, points to market transparency as the defining advantage of this moment. Understanding neighborhood-specific list-to-sale ratios and median days on market gives buyers meaningful leverage that was nearly impossible to exercise in previous years. &#8220;If you&#8217;ve been in research mode, the data is telling you that 2026 is the year to move from browsing to action,&#8221; said Vic Markarian, real estate agent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The case for buying over renting continues to grow stronger. As a <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/G6kAS0BCiOwLEO8Bo\">Montrose, CA Realtor<\/a> with more than 34 years of experience, Vic has helped thousands of renters transition into homeownership. A fixed mortgage builds equity, offers potential tax advantages, and creates long-term wealth &#8212; unlike rent, which rises annually and funds someone else&#8217;s investment. For buyers who cannot afford a single-family home outright, Vic&#8217;s team has guided many toward purchasing 2-to-4-unit properties, using rental income to help cover the mortgage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Vic Markarian Realty Group&#8217;s results speak for themselves.
