Zillow: “Acting Quickly Could Save Them Hundreds …”

A Feb 3, 2021 Zillow Press Release begins: “Competition is Fierce for Home Buyers, But Acting Quickly Could Save Them Hundreds on Their Monthly Payments”.

The two things which stand out about this press release are that: 1) Zillow has little to gain by urging buyers to buy now and 2) the numbers they provide show the very big impact on home affordability they predict.
