Keeping a low mortgage rate feels smart – until it starts holding you back. Because here’s the thing you may not realize. Rates aren’t expected to fall as much as you want them to. Expert forecasts show mortgage rates will still be between 6-6.5% by the end of 2026. So, if you’re waiting for the return of 3%, it’s not in the cards. So why hold out for something that’s probably not going to happen? Instead, ask yourself this: What are the chances you’ll still be in your current house 5 years from now? Because if a life change is coming (or if it’s already happened), your house may need to change too – no matter where rates are. Let’s talk about what makes sense for your timeline and how to plan ahead. #SellYourHouse #MortgageRates Every home has a story... let's write yours.

Don’t Let Student Loans Hold You Back from Homeownership Having student loans doesn’t mean buying a home is off the table. Before you count yourself out, talk to a lender to get a clearer picture of what you can afford and how close you are to taking the first step toward homeownership. #Homeownership #RealEstateAdvice Every home has a story...let's write yours.
Do you have student loan debt and think you can’t buy a home until it’s paid off – or at least a lot lower? Think again. 32% of first-time buyers were able to buy a home last year, even with student debt. And the median amount of those student loans was $30,000. So, having student loans doesn’t necessarily mean you have to wait to buy a home. If you want to see what’s possible, connect with a lender. #Homebuying #FirstTimeHomebuyer Every home has a story... let's write yours.
Why Buyers Are More Likely To Get Concessions Right Now Whether you’re looking at a newly built home or something a little older, there’s a good chance you can benefit from concessions or incentives. If a seller or builder offered you something extra, what would make the biggest difference to help you move forward? Let’s talk about it and see if it’s realistic based on inventory and competition in our local market. #RealEstateMarket #RealEstateAdvice Every home has a story...let's write yours.
Now that inventory has grown, buyers are finally getting some breathing room – and potentially, some extras, too. The percentage of sellers offering concessions is back to typical pre-pandemic levels, and that can mean real savings. From help with closing costs to mortgage rate buy-downs, these perks can make it easier to move forward. Let’s connect to see what offers might be on the table for you. You could end up getting more than you expected. If a seller offered to help sweeten the deal, what’s one thing you’d hope they’d include? #HousingMarketInsights #Homebuying Every home has a story... let's write yours.

Why You’ll Want a Home Inspection Once your offer is accepted, an inspector will assess the condition of the house, including things like the roof, foundation, plumbing, and more. That information is incredibly important and paves the way for you to re-negotiate with the seller, as needed. So, you don’t want to skip this step. An inspection is your chance to avoid costly headaches and get peace of mind.

Stocks May Be Volatile, but Home Values Aren’t A lot of people are feeling nervous about their finances right now. But there’s one reason for you to feel more secure – your investment in something that’s stood the test of time: real estate. #HomePriceAppreciation #ExpertAnswers Every home has a story...let's write yours.
Are you feeling a little uneasy with all the stock market ups and downs lately? That’s normal. But here’s the thing. Your home’s value likely hasn’t taken the same hit. Home values tend to hold steady, even when stocks dip. And during four of the last six major stock declines, home prices actually went up. While you may remember 2008, that wasn’t the norm. So, if you’ve been wondering what this means for your biggest investment, just know: real estate has a strong track record of staying steady and growing over time. #RealEstate #Homeownership Every home has a story... let's write yours.
The 20% Down Payment Myth, Debunked Saving up for your first home can feel like a lot, especially if you’re still thinking you have to put 20% down. The truth is that’s a common myth. Many loan options require much less, and there are even programs out there designed to boost your savings too. To learn more about what’s available and if you’d qualify for any down payment assistance programs, talk to a trusted lender. #FirstTimeHomebuyer #DownPayment Every home has a story...let's write yours.
Are you waiting to buy until you’ve saved enough to make a 20% down payment? That’s actually one of the most common homebuying myths. Unless your specific loan or lender requires it, odds are you won’t have to put that much down. The median down payment for first-time buyers is actually just 9% – and depending on your home loan type, you could put down even less than that. The bottom line? You might be closer to buying a home than you think. Connect with a trusted lender to explore your home loan options and find out. #DownPayment #FirstTimeHomebuyer Every home has a story... let's write yours.
Are you worried about the value of your home if the economy slows down? You’re not alone. It's one of the top concerns homeowners have right now. But the truth is, in 4 of the last 6 economic slowdowns, home prices actually went up. Everyone remembers the 2008 crash – but that was the exception, not the rule. You see, during recessions, prices usually follow whatever path they’re already on. And even with inventory rising and prices moderating today, there just aren’t enough homes on the market for a massive drop in values at the national level. If you’re wondering how the current economy is impacting our local market or the value of your home, DM me. #HomePrices #HousingRecession Every home has a story... let's write yours.
What an Economic Slowdown Could Mean for the Housing Market The answer to the recession question is still unknown, but the odds have gone up. However, that doesn’t mean you have to worry about what it means for the housing market – or the value of your home. Historical data tells us what usually happens. If you’re wondering how the current economy is impacting our local market, let’s connect. #ExpertAnswers #Opportunity Every home has a story...let's write yours.

Because understanding your local market can make all the difference when it’s time to buy or sell. Let’s talk about what things look like in our area and how to make your best move in today’s market. #LocalMarketExpert #RealEstateInsights Every home has a story... let's write yours.

The word “recession” has been all over the news – and it can make people nervous, especially if your mind jumps to the housing crash of 2008. But let’s take some of the uncertainty away. Data shows, in every recession since 1980, mortgage rates have come down. So, you don’t have to wonder what a potential recession could mean for your buying power. Historical data tells us what’s most likely. Don’t let uncertainty hold you back if you need to make a move. When it comes to major decisions, it's the facts that are worth listening to. #MortgageRates #HousingRecession Every home has a story... let's write yours.
A Tale of Two Housing Markets If you're ready to make a move, or even just thinking about it, let’s connect.

If you’ve been waiting for the housing market to give you a sign that it’s time to restart your home search – it just did. There are 28.5% more homes for sale right now than there were at this time one year ago. That means you have a lot more options to choose from for your next home. But at the same time, inventory still hasn’t bounced all the way back to normal. It’s still down over 20% compared to 2017–2019. That makes this moment the sweet spot to make your move. You’ll have an easier time finding a home you love, and your house should still sell quickly if you work with a pro to price it right. Want to take advantage of this sweet spot? DM me and let’s make a game plan. #SellYourHouse #HomesForSale Every home has a story... let's write yours.
Why Today’s Foreclosure Numbers Aren’t a Warning Sign Even with the recent increase, foreclosure numbers are not at the levels seen during the 2008 crash. Plus, most homeowners today are in a much stronger equity position, even with rising costs. If you are a homeowner who’s facing hardship, talk to your mortgage provider to explore your options. #ExpertAnswers #RealEstate Every home has a story...let's write yours.
Are you worried that today’s higher costs are going to lead to a big wave of foreclosures because homeowners will struggle to make their mortgage payments? Here’s what you need to know. While it’s true foreclosure filings may be up slightly, data shows they’re nowhere near 2008 levels. And here’s some more context you may not have heard. Unlike last time, most homeowners now have a lot of equity. That creates a financial cushion that helps give them options to avoid foreclosure. If you have other questions about what you’re seeing or hearing about the housing market, DM me or drop them below. #HousingMarketUpdate #Foreclosures Every home has a story... let's write yours.
Paused Your Moving Plans? Here’s Why It’s Time To Hit Play Again If you’ve been waiting for the housing market to give you a sign – it just did. Whether you’re looking to move up, scale down, or relocate completely, this might be the best balance we’ve seen in a while. What’s holding you back from taking advantage of this sweet spot? Let’s talk through it and see what’s possible. #RealEstateUpdate #Opportunity Every home has a story...let's write yours.
Savvy sellers are jumping off the fence and back into the market. And here’s why. More options. Less chaos. Strong demand. Inventory has been rising for 17 straight months – and experts say that’s going to continue. That means you’ve finally got more options for your move. But if you wait too long to take advantage of that, your house will have to compete with other listings as inventory grows even more. Basically, this is the sweet spot. You have more choices right now. But you’re still selling while inventory is low. And that’s ideal for your bottom line. Want to talk about your best strategy? Let’s figure out if this sweet spot is your moment to move. #SellYourHouse #HomesForSale Every home has a story... let's write yours.
Do you think waiting to buy might save you money? Think again. While today’s market isn’t always easy, the longer you wait, the more you’ll spend. Experts say home prices will keep climbing for at least the next 5 years – and on the typical $400K home, that means the same house would cost nearly $80K more. But, if you buy now, you could gain that same amount in equity over the next 5 years. The question isn’t if prices will go up - it’s whether you’ll be the one benefiting from them as they do. Would you walk away from $80K? So, what’s your next move? DM me and I’ll show you what the numbers look like for our market today. #FirstTimeHomebuyer #HousingMarket Every home has a story... let's write yours.
