New Listings Rise as Summer Comes to a Close
As we approach the end of summer, we’re seeing a subtle but important shift in the U.S. housing market: new home listings have ticked up by 1.2%, reaching their highest point in three months. At the same time, pending sales have dipped 1.3%—their lowest since March. The median asking price eased down just 0.1%, even as the median sale price is still up 1.8% year-over-year, all set against the backdrop of rising mortgage rates and ongoing economic uncertainty.

After more than two decades in real estate, I’ve learned that these nuanced movements can create both opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers alike. Understanding the story behind the numbers is crucial, whether you’re weighing your next move or simply staying informed. My commitment is to empower you with clarity and confidence—because trusted, real-time market insight is the foundation of every successful real estate journey.

Homebuyers Benefit as Housing Supply Reaches 6-Year High
For those keeping an eye on the market, August brought a notable shift: new U.S. home listings rose 2.6%, pushing available inventory to its highest level in six years. With total homes for sale up 3.9%, buyers are finding more options—and greater leverage at the negotiation table. Interestingly, nearly 60% of homes sold below asking price, a trend most pronounced in Florida and Texas. As someone who has devoted my career to helping clients navigate their real estate journeys, I see this as a moment where informed guidance is more valuable than ever. Whether you're searching for your next home or considering an investment, understanding these shifts can make all the difference.

Three in five U.S. homes sold below asking in August. New listings reached their highest level in over four years.
August 2026 brought a notable shift in the U.S. housing market: for the first time in over four years, new listings reached their highest levels, with cities like San Jose, Nashville, and Seattle leading the surge. At the same time, 59.5% of homes sold below asking price, a clear sign of the current pressures from high mortgage rates. The median home price still edged up by 2.2% to $398,596. As someone who’s committed to empowering lives through real estate, I keep a close eye on these trends to help clients navigate both opportunities and challenges—whether it’s securing a dream home or making a smart investment in a shifting market.

Smart Tips to Save Thousands on Metro Mortgages
As someone who's spent over two decades guiding clients through the real estate maze, I've seen firsthand how easily homebuyers can lose thousands simply by not shopping around for their mortgage. Recent stats show that mortgage borrowers in major U.S. metros are paying an average of $3,300 more each year in extra interest and fees—and in some coastal cities, that number can soar to $8,100 annually. More than 80% of buyers are affected, often because they stick with the first lender or don't compare options. My passion has always been about empowering buyers with the knowledge and confidence to make the smartest decisions possible. Taking the time to compare mortgage quotes isn’t just a good idea—it can literally save you thousands and make your investment work harder for you. That’s the kind of strategic move that’s helped many of my clients find both the right home and the right financial fit.

Here are the wealthiest suburbs in America
I’m always fascinated by the trends shaping our communities—especially when it comes to affluent neighborhoods. Did you know that eight of the 10 wealthiest U.S. suburbs by average household income are in California, New York, and Texas? Scarsdale, NY tops the list with an impressive $612,591 average. What sets these communities apart? Think waterfront living, access to top-tier schools, limited housing inventory, and, yes, some of the highest home prices in the country. As someone who’s spent a career helping clients navigate the real estate landscape, I see how these elements combine to create truly exclusive markets. Every home tells a story, and these neighborhoods are no exception.

Here are things you should do after purchasing a home
Stepping into your new home is an incredible milestone—and after two decades guiding buyers through this exciting transition, I’ve found that a few practical steps can make all the difference in protecting your investment and settling in smoothly. Right after closing, I always recommend changing the locks for peace of mind, transferring utilities into your name, and applying for any tax exemptions you may qualify for. Update your address across all important documents, document the property thoroughly for your insurance records, and don’t overlook a deep clean and a fresh coat of paint to truly make the space your own. Finally, create an emergency plan that includes key shut-offs and a list of important contacts. These essentials help ensure your new beginning is both secure and seamless—something I strive for with every client’s move.

What Smaller U.S. Homes Could Mean for Buyers
Over the past decade, we’ve seen a notable transition in the U.S. housing market: the average new single-family home sold has downsized from 2,700 to 2,400 square feet, yet the price per square foot has surged by approximately 72%. In 2025, one in four new single-family homes sold measured under 1,800 square feet—a significant shift from one in six just ten years ago. Meanwhile, the prevalence of larger homes (3,000 square feet or more) has diminished from about one in three to just one in five. Builders are responding to rising land, labor, and material costs by designing smaller homes, helping to keep options accessible as mortgage rates hover around 6% to 7%. For those entering the market or working within a budget, these more compact homes can make down payments and monthly costs a bit more manageable, even as the higher price per square foot underscores the ongoing affordability challenge.

In my two decades guiding buyers and sellers through every corner of the real estate landscape, I’ve seen how important it is to stay informed and adaptable. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, understanding these trends can help you navigate your choices and find the property that best matches your goals. The evolving market underscores why experience, strategy, and a learning-based approach remain at the core of what I do for my clients every day.
