Most Homeowners Have This Big Advantage Right Now

09/02/2025

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.

Knowing what’s ahead for the rest of the year is key to your success, whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just stay informed. And that’s why you need an expert who will keep sharing these market updates with you.

So, what do the latest forecasts show? Mortgage rates will likely settle in the mid-6s for the rest of 2025. And that’s not terribly different from where we are now. So, don’t expect a big drop in rates.

But, keeping an eye on factors like inflation that can influence where mortgage rates move is key. And that’s why you have a pro on your side.

If your plans are changing, don’t wait on a rate that may not come. Let’s have a conversation, so you can see what’s possible in today’s market.

Wondering what’s really going on with home prices? The truth is: it depends on where you live.

In the 50 largest metros, nearly half are still seeing prices climb. The other half are seeing slight declines.

It’s a clear reminder that real estate is hyper-local. And understanding what’s happening in your specific market is key.

Let’s talk about what’s unfolding in our area, and how that impacts the strategy for your next move.

Want to know the real reason you don’t need to be worried we’re building too many homes right now? This is it.

No matter what you’re seeing online about the number of new homes for sale, nationally we just don’t have the same surplus of inventory we had back in the crash of 2008. And this graph proves it.

If you combine how many homes we’ve built lately with all the existing homes for sale (those that have already been lived in by a previous owner), we’re still nowhere near crash territory.

Of course, inventory is going to vary by area. But nationally, we don’t have enough new homes to crash the market.

So, don’t believe everything you read or hear. If you need help cutting through the noise, let’s talk.

History Shows the Housing Market Always Recovers

As activity picks up again, will you be ready to put your house back on the market, or do you need to move sooner?

Now that the market is slowing down, homeowners who haven’t sold at the price they were hoping for are increasingly pulling their homes off the market.
