Interest rates are down, yet buyer activity has slowed—what’s behind this paradox?

Despite a decrease in interest rates compared to last year, buyer activity in Fort Erie has diminished. This counterintuitive trend raises questions about the factors influencing buyer decisions.​

Warren Buffett’s investment principle advises: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” In the current climate, this perspective encourages a strategic approach to real estate decisions.
