Check out these big-name celebrities forced to lower the price of their homes amid a housing market cooldown.
Many celebrities are being forced to slash the price of their homes by millions of dollars with the hopes of attracting buyers in the middle of a cooling housing market.

Will my house be worth less in 2024?
Housing prices are predicted to remain stable and unlikely to drop significantly for the rest of 2024. Even though interest rates are high, this is a good investment year.
Should I sell now or wait until 2025?
If you are concerned about a recession, uncertain about future market conditions, or experiencing significant life changes, selling now instead of waiting until next year might be a good idea.
What is the best month to sell a house?
While the best time to sell a home depends on location and inventory, the spring and summer seasons are generally considered ideal for selling since there tend to be more buyer activity and listings due to better weather. April, May, and June are typically peak months for home sellers.
