What would make you feel more comfortable making a move?

63% of would-be homebuyers say lower home prices.
50% say lower mortgage rates.

If that’s what you want too, here’s the update you’ve been looking for.

Experts are projecting single-digit price increases in many markets this year. Some areas will even experience slight declines. That’s a far cry from the 20% rise we saw just a few years ago.

At the same time, mortgage rates have eased from their recent highs.

While it’s not enough to completely change the game on affordability, both trends should stick around going into 2026.

If you want to talk through how this helps your budget, DM me.

The average rate on 30-year fixed home loans registered at 6.35% for the week ending Sept. 11, down from 6.5% last week.

Mortgage rates just had their biggest one-day drop in over a year.

They fell to the lowest they've been since last October.

And that shift matters. Compared to when rates were at 7% earlier this year, that could mean your future monthly payment is now about $200 lower.

Want to know how much you could save if you’re looking to buy? DM me and let’s talk it over.
