Barbara Corcoran’s Real Estate Reveal for 2024

Barbara Ann Corcoran is an American businesswoman, investor, syndicated columnist, and television personality. She founded The Corcoran Group, a real estate brokerage in New York City, which she sold to NRT for $66 million in 2001 and shortly thereafter exited the company. 

Barbara discusses the outlook for the real estate market and why she believes prices will ‘go through the roof’ if interest rates drop. Corcoran also advises that if you want to buy a house, the time is “right now.” As people wait for rates to fall before entering the market, she warns that the optimal time will see “everybody in the market,” and she questions, “Why would you wait for that?”
