71% of homeowners say their insurance costs have gone up over the past few years.

And if you're buying a home, that's worth knowing – but it shouldn't scare you away from your plans.

Yes, affordability is still tight. But you can't control every cost that comes with buying a home. You can only control how prepared you are.

And in a market like this, one of the smartest things you can do is get an insurance quote before you make an offer. It'll give you a clearer picture of what your monthly housing costs will look like, help you build a more realistic budget, and keep you from being surprised after closing.

Buying a home is a big decision. The more you know before you buy, the more confident you'll feel when it's time to make your move.

Putting off selling because it feels like the market’s at a standstill and no one’s buying right now?

Sure, the pace has cooled in some areas recently. But houses are still selling all the time. In fact, more than 4 million will sell this year.

Do a little math, and that works out to over 11k sold every day, almost 470 an hour, and about eight every minute.

So, don’t count your house out. Another home just sold as you were reading this – let’s make the next one yours.

Did home prices just hit a turning point?

Even though all the headlines out there make it sound like prices are crashing, here’s what the data really says.

Yes, price growth cooled from around 7% in mid-2024 to closer to 3% today. But that’s not a crash. It’s just a slowdown.

And if you look at the right side of this graph, it seems like price growth may have hit its low point and started to turn.

Now, two months of data doesn’t necessarily make a trend. But a few things back this up.

Compared to earlier this year, fewer markets are seeing price declines right now. And, forecasts call for price growth to pick up a bit before end of year.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I want you to have breaking info like this as soon as I have it – especially when it looks like something is changing.

You have a serious edge if you’re selling a luxury house right now.

Sale prices for luxury homes have gone up about three times faster than the rest of the housing market.

That’s because buyer demand is surprisingly strong for high-end homes. So, while most tiers are cooling off, luxury stayed hot this Summer.

And that means you’re in a good position to get the most possible from your sale.

Ready to cash out at the top? Let’s talk strategy.

Sticker shock keeping you on the sidelines? Condos might help.

The median condo sold for $380,000 in June, while the median single-family home went for $446,400. That's a gap of more than $66,000.

Part of that is because condos are usually smaller. But that's exactly the point. Smaller square footage can mean a smaller price tag.

So, if you can make less space work for your life, it may work for your budget, too.

For a lot of buyers, especially first-timer buyers, a condo or townhome is the difference between waiting and owning.

Curious what condos and townhomes are selling for in our area? Drop a comment or send me a DM, and I'll put together a list that fits your budget.

For most people, their first house was never meant to be their forever home. It was meant to be a stepping stone to whatever came next.
And today's market is creating an interesting opportunity for homeowners who are ready to move up.
Starter homes are still in short supply, which means the house you're selling may be exactly what another buyer has been hoping to find.
At the same time, there are more move-up homes on the market than buyers have had to choose from in years.
Throw in the equity you've likely built over the years, and moving up may be more realistic than you think.
If your current home no longer fits your life, let's talk about what your next chapter could look like.

Headlines highlighting rising foreclosures have a way of stirring up 2008 flashbacks. But the data says not to panic.

We’re nowhere near what happened back then.

In the first half of 2008, foreclosures were filed on over 1.3 million homes. The first half of this year that number was less than 250k.

Now, seeing any homeowner go through this is hard. There’s no arguing that.

But just looking at the market as a whole, we’re a long way from crash territory – even with the recent uptick. So, don’t let the headlines stir up fear.

If you’ve been house-hunting lately, you know the struggle. High prices. And too few homes to choose from.

But this Summer, the tide may be turning in your favor.

Nationally, the median asking price is about $11,000 below where it was a year ago. A sign sellers are meeting buyers where they’re at.

And the number of homes for sale just hit its highest point for any June since 2022.

This doesn’t mean a crash is coming – lower list prices and more options just mean you have more room to find a home that fits your budget and your needs.

So, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, this might be it. DM and let's look.

For the 14th year in a row, Americans say real estate is the best long-term investment.

Think about that. Through rising rates, market swings, and all the noise, real estate keeps taking the top spot. That kind of staying power is hard to argue with.

And it makes sense. A home is the one investment that grows your wealth and gives you a place to build your life.

So, what would you pick as the best long-term investment? Drop it in the comments.

And if buying a home is on your mind, send me a message. Let’s talk about what that first step could look like.
