Your local real estate market may have just shifted.

“Just look at July inventory data. Active listings on realtor.com jumped 128,200 last month to 747,500. That’s the single biggest jump in the site’s database that goes back to 2016. The previous record hike was May 2022 (+106,900 homes), which nearly got surpassed by the June 2022 jump (+102,900 homes).

While inventory usually rises around this time of year, seasonality alone can’t explain this jump. The culprit is the ongoing housing cool-down. Simply put: We’re watching the U.S. housing market flip from the pandemic housing boom into the pandemic housing slump.”

As mortgage interest rates rise, your home purchasing power decreases. Many homebuyers are being forced to readjust their home buying budgets or pause their home search altogether. It will be interesting to see how the remaining months in the third quarter reflect the change we are seeing now.

Just SOLD! This spacious and nearly new Round Rock home sold in less than a week! After 4 days on the market, the sellers accepted a strong offer that came in $35k over asking price.

I was fortunate to help the owners buy this home in 2018 and I am grateful to see this journey come full circle.

Congratulations to my sellers and the new owners!

Just a few weeks ago, this house became a home. My clients worked diligently over the span of 2 years to build their credit and achieve their dream of owning a home. They set a goal for their family and committed to the end. Today, each of their kiddos has their very own bedroom for the first time. (I think they may have been more excited then the parents!) Their dedication and discipline are inspiring. 🌟 Congratulations to the Cruz family and Welcome Home! 🏡
