Buying a home is getting more affordable, and this graph helps explain why.

It shows how much of a household’s income typically goes toward buying a home. As a general rule, spending 30% or less of your income on housing is considered affordable.

For the last couple of years, the math was still well above that threshold. But lately, things have been getting better thanks to a mix of lower mortgage rates, slower home price growth, and rising wages.

While affordability isn't going to snap back overnight, the trend is finally moving in the right direction.

If you want to talk through what this means for your buying power, send me a message and let’s break it down.

Buying your first home can feel like a tough matchup today – which is why so many first-time buyers stay on the sidelines, waiting for an assist from the market.

But the buyers who actually win don’t wait for the market to help them out. They take the ball and run. And here are some ways you can do that.

With the right prep, maybe you’re not watching the big game at someone else’s house next year. You’re watching it from your own living room.

If buying before next season is on your radar, let’s build a game plan that’ll make it happen.

For a lot of homeowners, retirement changes how they think about home.

Nearly 12,000 people will turn 65 every day for the next 2 years. And many are realizing they want life to feel simpler, with less upkeep and fewer expenses.

That’s why they’re downsizing. And their home equity is what makes it possible.

If retirement is on your radar, a simple conversation about your options can go a long way.

No pressure. Just information to get you excited about what comes next.

You’ve been waiting for mortgage rates to drop – and it’s happening.

Mortgage rates are in the lowest range they’ve been in nearly 3 years. And they’re expected to stay in this vicinity for the rest of 2026. That’s a big deal.
That means affordability is going to start to feel different.

The door just opened. Lower payments. Better affordability. More buying power.

If buying didn’t make sense for you before, it might now. Take this as your sign it's time to talk to a lender and take another look at your numbers.

Headlines about the double-digit jump in foreclosure filings sound scary – until you zoom out.

This visual says everything.

The left side shows foreclosure filings in the years around the housing crash. The right side shows the last few years.

And here’s what it tells me. Even with the uptick in 2025, we’re nowhere near crisis territory.

Strong lending standards + high equity are keeping homeowners on solid ground.

If you want the real story behind today’s data (not the scary headline version), DM me and I’ll send you the facts. No clickbait.

It can feel like big investors are buying up all the homes right now. But the data tells a different story.

Large institutional investors – the ones owning 100+ homes – made up just 1.2% of home purchases in late 2025.

That means 99 out of 100 homes were bought by everyday buyers and small, local investors. Not big corporations.

In a few areas, investor activity is more noticeable. But nationally, big investors are a much smaller part of the market than most people think.

If you’re wondering how this plays out right here in our local market, let’s talk. A little context can make a big difference when you’re deciding your next move.

Mortgage rates are down a full percentage point since last year.

That recent drop doesn’t sound dramatic, until you realize how much it can already save you on the typical $400k loan.

Compared to buying in January of last year, that saves you more than $330 a month and almost $120k over the life of your loan.

That’s the difference just one year makes.

If buying didn’t work for you last year, let’s re-run the numbers and see if 2026 could finally be your year.

Wondering what 2026 has in store for the housing market? Here’s a quick snapshot of what the experts are saying.
Mortgage rates are going to stay in the low 6s.
There will be more homes to choose from.
And price growth is going to slow down.
That combination will help affordability improve even more this year, but it’s going to look different market to market.
