🏡 AUGUST 2026 MARKET UPDATE — What’s happening in our local market?

August gave us some interesting numbers, and there’s opportunity on both sides of the transaction!

🔥 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SELLERS?
Buyers ARE buying. Under-contract activity increased while available inventory decreased. But with homes averaging 81 days on market, pricing and presentation still matter. This isn't a market where you can simply throw a price on a house and expect it to sell. The homes that are positioned correctly are getting attention.

🔑 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR BUYERS?
You have 207 homes to choose from, and the longer average market time may give you some room to negotiate on certain properties. BUT—77 homes are already under contract, so when a well-priced home in the right location hits the market, waiting too long can still cost you the house.

💡 BOTTOM LINE:
This feels like a market that rewards strategy over guessing. Sellers need to price competitively from Day 1, and buyers need to know when they have negotiating power—and when it's time to move quickly.

Thinking about buying or selling in Clovis, Portales or the Cannon AFB area? Let's look at what these numbers mean for YOUR price range. 🏡

This. ❤️ This is always my goal.

Buying or selling a home may be something I do every day, but for my clients, it’s a big deal. It’s a new chapter, a major decision, and a moment they’ll remember.

I never want the process to feel routine just because it’s familiar to me. My goal is for every client to feel heard, supported, informed, and genuinely cared for from beginning to end. 🏡❤️

Your moment matters to me. And when your moment comes, I’d be honored to be part of it.

🏡 July 2026 Market Update!

📣 What does this mean for SELLERS?
Homes ARE selling, but buyers have more time to make decisions. With the average home taking about 3 months to sell, pricing correctly from the beginning matters more than ever. Condition, presentation, and realistic pricing can make the difference between getting SOLD and sitting on the market.

🔑 What does this mean for BUYERS?
You may have a little more breathing room! Longer days on market and fewer homes going under contract can mean more negotiating opportunities on price, closing costs, repairs, or other terms. But the $200K–$300K range is still seeing the most activity, so a great home at the right price can absolutely move quickly.

Thinking about buying or selling? I'd love to help you create a strategy that fits today's market.

✨ Closing Day! 🏡🔑

Meet Lola.

Like so many first-time buyers, Lola and Jesus dreamed of owning a home but felt a little overwhelmed by the process. At the encouragement of her sister, Areli, Lola reached out, and we started with a simple conversation about her goals, wants, needs, and deal breakers.

She knew exactly what she was looking for… and the moment she walked through the front door of THE one, she knew she’d found it. ❤️

From that point on, Lola was an absolute rock star! She stayed on top of every step, handled business like a pro, and trusted the process. Today, I had the honor of handing the keys to Lola and Jesus for their very first home! 🥹🏠

Be like Lola. Don’t let the fear of the unknown keep you from taking the first step. You might be closer to homeownership than you think!

A huge thank you to Areli for the referral, for being a trusted set of eyes, a voice of reason throughout the process, and for trusting me to take care of your family. That means more than you know. ❤️

Congratulations, Lola and Jesus! Welcome home! 🎉🔑

📲 Thinking about buying your first home? Let’s talk. I’d love to help you create your own closing day story.

Special thanks to Chris Wood and his amazing team, and Victoria Garcia Valverde for all your hard work!! 🥰
