A little info for your Thursday afternoon.🥰 The May 2026 Wisconsin Real Estate Report.

A lot of people who want to move are telling themselves the same thing: "Maybe I'll just wait until later this year."

But before you decide, make sure you understand what you could be giving up too. Because moving this Summer does have its advantages.

For buyers, it could give you more options in your price point. Historically, there are over 30% more fresh listings in the Summer compared to the rest of the year.

For sellers, it can mean a better sales price. Data shows, on average homes sell for 4% more in the typical Summer month compared to usual month in the Fall or Winter (when demand typically falls off).

The point isn't to rush into anything. It's just to make sure you have the full picture before deciding whether waiting is really your best move.

DM me if you want to talk through your options. No pressure, just perspective based on years of experience.

Because even though you want rates to come down, experts say this latest inflation data could actually set the stage for rates to stay “higher for longer.”

So, what can you do about it? Should you just wait?

My advice is simple. Focus on what you can control.

Even in a market like this, there are things you can do to get the best mortgage rate possible. Because sometimes you need to move no matter what’s happening – and that’s okay.

You just need the right strategy.

Let's talk about what this means for your situation and your timing. Drop a comment below or send over a message.

Because you don’t have to figure it out alone. And there are still ways to move forward.

🏡 ACCEPTED OFFER! 🎉

Congratulations to my seller on accepting an amazing offer after just 4 days on the market! Even better, the buyer found the home by attending the open house.

This is a great reminder that open houses are about so much more than just a few hours on a weekend. They create extra exposure, bring in motivated buyers, and can generate the kind of excitement that leads to strong offers.

A well-marketed home + a successful open house = great results! 🙌

Thinking about selling and wondering if an open house is worth it? In many cases, the right strategy can make all the difference.

Congratulations again to my seller, and cheers to a smooth path to closing! 🏠✨

What Rising Inflation Means for Your Move

Inflation is still above where the Fed wants it, and that means mortgage rates are likely to stay elevated for a while. But for people who need to move, strategy matters far more than trying to perfectly time the market.

Wondering what this means for your specific situation? Reach out today. Let's cut through the noise together and make a plan that actually works for you.

Data shows inflation is moving in the wrong direction. But before the headlines send anyone into a panic, here's what's actually going on, why it matters for the housing market, and what it means if you're thinking about buying or selling.

My sister, Lani, and I had the pleasure of staging this beautiful home, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thoughtful staging helps buyers envision themselves in a space, and we love bringing that vision to life.

A huge thank you to my sister-in-law, Jennifer of Jennifer Bake Photography, for creating this stunning video that perfectly showcases the home and all the hard work that went into preparing it for the market.

Take a look and let us know what you think! 🏡❤️
