Hi everyone,

Here's this week's market update, we unpack how to help guide your clients with confidence. We're digging into why homeownership feels increasingly out of reach for young buyers, how to help clients bridge the gap between selling one home and buying the next, and what's really behind deals falling through before closing.
Interest Rates: Rates crept up just a little this week after sitting pretty still for a few days. It's nothing dramatic, just a small nudge in a direction that's not quite as favorable for buyers. What happens next probably has more to do with what Fed leaders say in their upcoming speeches, or with gas prices moving around, than anything happening with the numbers today.

Economic Update: There was a jobs report today, but don't read too much into it. This one just goes back and corrects last year's job numbers so the history books are accurate. It doesn't actually tell us anything new about how the job market's doing right now. Meanwhile, people are feeling a bit less confident about the economy than expected. The one good bit of news is that folks are a little less worried about inflation next year than they were before. If you want the report that really matters, that one's coming next week, so keep watching.

Mortgages: Mortgage pricing got a touch less favorable today, meaning lenders have a little less wiggle room right now than they did earlier this week. It's a small blip, not a trend yet.

What This Means for Your Buyers

Nothing here changes the bigger picture. Rates go up and down a little every day, and that's normal. There's no reason for your buyers to rush into anything or hold off because of today's news. Next week's report will actually tell us more about where things are headed, so keep that on your radar. If you are thinking about purchasing a home now is still a good time to do it. It's a buyers market as more sellers are willing to lower their prices or give buyer closing incentives.

I'm excited to share that effective July 13, 2026, the Florida Hometown Heroes Program has officially reopened statewide for eligible first-time homebuyers.

Qualified buyers may receive up to $35,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance, making homeownership significantly more affordable. Funding is limited, and $50 million has been allocated, so acting early is encouraged.

To qualify, applicants must:

Be a first-time homebuyer
Meet the county income limits
Be employed full-time in an eligible occupation
Have a minimum 640 credit score
I've attached a list of the eligible occupations for your reference.

If you or someone you know may qualify, I'd be happy to:

Review eligibility
Estimate how much assistance may be available
Answer any questions about the program
Provide a customized home financing scenario
Feel free to reply to this email or give me a call to discuss your options. I'd be glad to help determine whether this program is a good fit before funds are exhausted.

Below are the approved positions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Florida's housing market continues to demonstrate steady growth, with the median home sale price increasing 1.7% year over year to $395,595 in May 2026. Buyer activity remains strong, as 30,460 homes were sold, a 9.7% increase compared to the same time last year, while the number of homes for sale declined 9.9% to 200,524, creating a more balanced inventory. Homes are spending a median of 69 days on the market, and with approximately 5 months of housing supply, buyers have more opportunities while well-priced homes continue to attract attention. As we move through the summer season, Florida remains one of the country's most sought-after destinations, with migration trends continuing to support long-term demand for housing.

Hello everyone check out my updated website @

06/01/2026

Affordability is still better than last spring
Stat: The typical U.S. monthly mortgage payment in April was $1,829, down 3.4% from a year ago.
That's a headline many buyers may not have heard. Home values have barely moved nationally — up just 0.7% YoY — so the modest payment relief from lower rates earlier this year is still helping buyers' budgets. Even a buyer financing at today's rates is stepping into a better market than a year ago.

"The conversation around mortgage rates has overshadowed what's actually happened to affordability,” says Zillow Senior Economist Orphe Divounguy. “Buyers are entering a market that quietly improved for them, even if it’s less so than in March."

Takeaway: For hesitant buyers looking at the recent rate rebound, change the conversation to focus on monthly payment math. Make sure they’re using BuyAbility so they can see what they’ll pay in real time. Refinancing is an option when rates finally come down again. Call me @ (941) 400-0904 to discuss your home buying options.
