As reported by Richelle Hammiel on Inman.com, the founder of The Corcoran Group and a sharp-witted investor on Shark Tank, Corcoran recently shared her expert insights, urging prospective homebuyers to take action amidst current economic uncertainty. In a compelling TikTok video and a recent appearance on Fox & Friends, this real estate legend made a powerful case: hesitation in the broader economy is creating a golden window for savvy buyers like you in the real estate market.
"Now is a great time to get a good deal. Why? Because everybody’s hesitating," Corcoran stated emphatically on TikTok. "They’re worried about everything in the economy, and buyers stall when they feel that way, but right now, I’m here to tell you that that stall’s not going to last very long."
Her advice comes at a time when some might feel a natural inclination to pause. Mortgage rates remain higher than recent years, and economic headwinds can create uncertainty. However, Corcoran views this very hesitation as your advantage.
"You’ve got your best selection. You’ve got your best prices," she added. "Maybe [in] a month or two things are going to get normal again, and everybody’s going to be out in the market. So get yourself out there if you have any cash, if you have any way to buy real estate right now."

During her Fox & Friends interview, Corcoran highlighted how fear can paralyze potential buyers, leading to a temporary dip in market activity. She even pointed out that a significant percentage of contracts recently fell through due to this uncertainty – a situation she believes mirrors the period following the initial shock of the pandemic, after which the market rebounded strongly.
While acknowledging that renting might currently appear more affordable in some major markets, Corcoran underscored the long-term benefits of homeownership, particularly the appreciation of value and the ability to build generational wealth. Her own actions speak volumes, as she revealed she's been strategically shifting investments from the stock market back into real estate, capitalizing on the very opportunities she's advising you to explore.
What does this mean for your Marin County home search?
Corcoran's insights suggest that the current environment could offer:
- Less Competition: With some buyers holding back, you may encounter fewer bidding wars and have more negotiating power.
- Greater Inventory: Hesitation can lead to more properties staying on the market longer, giving you a wider selection to choose from in desirable Marin County communities.
- Potential for Better Value: Sellers may be more willing to consider offers in a less frenzied market.
