Hi everyone, not sure if I have any options but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. I signed a lease in June for $2050 when I was under the impression it wouldn’t get lower than that. The same apartment is now down $1650 and has been dropping. this is super frustrating since it’s such a dramatic drop. It’s almost more cost effective to break the lease for $4k in order to save $4500 over 12 months - $500 in total savings + cheaper if I renew next year. Do I have any negotiation power? Pls help/advise

Need some advice! I live in Boise which is supposedly the most overvalued real estate market in the country right now. Bought my first home 2 years ago for 400k and it's now worth ~725k. Looking at homes in other western cities everywhere seems incredibly overpriced as well.

I plan to use the proceeds to pay off student loans and save the additional for a large down payment. Is it best to try and race interest rates and find a home or just sit on the big lump of cash and rent for a year?
