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.

Saving to buy a home? Don’t forget your closing costs.

They’re not the same everywhere. In some states they average roughly $2-3K. In others, nearly $20K.

This map shows the state averages. Use it as a ballpark for your budget, but be sure to work with a local agent and lender to get your real number before you start shopping. Because it depends on taxes where you live, the home’s price, and more.

DM me if you want an estimate on what you can expect to pay in our area. Or, if you’re looking for tips on how to bring that number down.

Did you know? A record 40% of U.S. homeowners now own their homes free and clear. That’s the highest share ever recorded.

And that’s an important stat if you’re considering downsizing.

Think about it. If you’ve been in your house for a long time, you may be able to sell and buy your next home in cash.

You could get a smaller, less expensive home that better fits your lifestyle today with lower bills, less upkeep, and no new mortgage in retirement.

Want to find out if this could be a possibility for you too? DM me.

There's a split happening in the housing market right now.

Some places are buyer friendly. And others are seller strong.

In some states, inventory has risen. That gives buyers more breathing room, more choices, and more negotiating power.

But in others? Listings are still scarce, which means sellers are calling the shots.

That divide is exactly why local expertise matters. The strategy you’ll need depends on which side of the market you’re in.

So, which side is our market on? DM me to find out.

While you’ve been out and about living your life, your house has been quietly building your wealth in the background.

And that hidden wealth is called equity. When prices go up over time and as you pay your mortgage, that number climbs.

According to the latest data, the average homeowner has around $302K in equity right now. That’s 6 figures you could be sitting on without even realizing it.

When was the last time you had a professional show you what your home is actually worth, and how much equity you likely have?

DM me and we’ll run your personalized numbers, so you know exactly what you’re working with. It might be exactly what you need to fuel your next move…
