If your listing isn’t getting traction, here's what you need to realize.

Homes are sitting longer today. And one of the reasons why? Overpricing like it’s 2021 again.

Unlike a normal market where list prices keep rising, they’ve actually been flat for over 3 years. And that’s a change worth paying attention to.

List prices have leveled off because buyers are being more selective as inventory has grown over the past few years. There are more homes on the market, and sellers need to take note.

So, if your home isn’t getting showings or offers, take it as a sign to check in with your agent. A small price adjustment could be the move that gets buyers through the door.

Because in a market like this you can’t just wait it out and hope for the best. Patience won’t sell your house. But the right price will.

Want to know the secret to getting the best deal on a home today? Spoiler alert: it’s new construction.

Right now, 66% of builders are offering incentives that can lower your overall cost of homeownership. That’s the highest in 5 years. And it’s a big deal.

The most common incentive is a price cut. And on average, they’re taking about 5% off the purchase price. On a $500K house, that’s a savings of $25K.

That could be enough to make the home you’ve been dreaming about more affordable than you think.

Curious how far today’s incentives could stretch your budget? Let’s connect so I can show you what builders are offering in our area.

If you’ve owned your home for a while, you probably have some serious equity.

Right now, over two-thirds of homeowners have either paid off their mortgage entirely or have at least 50% equity.

That’s a powerful position to be in. Because that much equity gives you a strong financial cushion and an asset you can use to fund your long-term goals.

If you're thinking about moving, downsizing, or just curious what your home’s really worth, DM me and I’ll give you a personalized estimate, because your equity might be able to get you there sooner rather than later.

You may have seen headlines about foreclosures rising, but here’s the truth.

Foreclosure headlines sound scary, but the data tells a calmer story.

Yes, FHA loans are showing more late payments than normal, but delinquencies across all other loan types remain stable.

And since FHA loans are only about 12% of mortgages nationwide, this isn’t the start of a new crisis.

Of course, no one wants to see anyone face the challenges of foreclosure. But the big picture: there isn't a big wave of foreclosures coming, and the broader market looks nothing like 2008.

Thinking About Renting Your House Instead of Selling? Read This First.

Before you decide to rent your house, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons of becoming a landlord. For some homeowners, the hassle (and the expense) may not be worth it.

If your house is on the market but you haven’t gotten any offers you’re comfortable with, you may be wondering: what do I do if it doesn’t sell? 

09/01/2025

If your house isn’t getting offers you’re comfortable with, you may be thinking: maybe I’ll just rent it instead.

And the truth is, a growing number of homeowners are making that choice right now. They’re called “accidental landlords.”

But here’s the thing you need to remember before you go that route, too. There’s probably a reason renting your home wasn’t the original plan.

Because renting often isn’t as easy as it sounds. Not every house makes a good rental. Plus, it comes with a lot more responsibility (and risk) than most people expect, like extra expenses, repairs, and the stress of being on call 24/7.

Make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons before you decide what to do. For some homeowners, it may not be worth it.
