A couple buys a place they love. Great layout. Exciting location. Agent says it's a good buy. They sign.
A few years later, life changes. They need to sell.
And that's when reality hits. The unit size doesn't match what buyers want. The demand isn't there. Too many similar units competing at exit.
They're not stuck because the market crashed. They're stuck because nobody helped them think about what comes after the purchase.
So they either sell at a price they're not happy with, or they hold and wait. And while they're waiting, they can't make their next move either.
