Some more homeowners are finally making their move, even if it means giving up that 3% mortgage.

Data from the FHFA shows the share of homeowners with rates under 3% is shrinking slightly, while more are taking on rates above 6%. Sure, some of the people with rates above 6% are first-time buyers, but others are people just like you who decided to move anyways.

Why? Because life doesn’t wait for perfect timing.
Families grow, jobs change, priorities shift, and a house that once fit perfectly may not fit at all anymore.

And with mortgage rates easing from earlier highs and forecast to dip slightly more in 2026, moving is becoming a little easier again.

If you’ve been holding off, maybe it’s time to ask: Is your low rate worth staying somewhere that no longer fits your life?

Whether it’s at a family gathering, your company party, or catching up with friends over the holidays, the housing market always finds its way into the conversation.

12/05/2025

People are going to talk about the housing market when they get together this holiday season. And you’re going to hear a lot of different opinions.

Make sure you’re getting your information from a true expert. Here are the real answers to the top 3 questions that may be on your mind:

“Will I be able to find a home if I want to move?”
Yes, there are more homes for sale now than there have been in years, giving buyers more options and sellers more places to go.

“Should I wait for prices to come down?”
Experts aren’t projecting a big decline. While prices will always vary by area, nationally they’re expected to keep rising for at least the next 5 years.

“Will I ever be able to afford a house?”
Affordability is slowly improving as mortgage rates ease and price growth cools, making monthly payments a bit more manageable than they were even just a few months ago.

Clear...

So many buyers who moved this year keep saying the same thing: they’re thankful they did.

Not because market conditions were perfect, but because they needed something different out of their home.

Some are grateful for a first place to truly make their own. Others are thankful for more space, or less to maintain.

And many are especially thankful to be closer to the people who matter most.
When your home lines up with what you need, every day feels lighter – and it’s something you appreciate more than you expect.

If you’re feeling that pull toward a home that fits your life better, let’s explore what’s possible.
