71% of homeowners say their insurance costs have gone up over the past few years.

And if you're buying a home, that's worth knowing – but it shouldn't scare you away from your plans.

Yes, affordability is still tight. But you can't control every cost that comes with buying a home. You can only control how prepared you are.

And in a market like this, one of the smartest things you can do is get an insurance quote before you make an offer. It'll give you a clearer picture of what your monthly housing costs will look like, help you build a more realistic budget, and keep you from being surprised after closing.

Buying a home is a big decision. The more you know before you buy, the more confident you'll feel when it's time to make your move.

Did home prices just hit a turning point?

Even though all the headlines out there make it sound like prices are crashing, here’s what the data really says.

Yes, price growth cooled from around 7% in mid-2024 to closer to 3% today. But that’s not a crash. It’s just a slowdown.

And if you look at the right side of this graph, it seems like price growth may have hit its low point and started to turn.

Now, two months of data doesn’t necessarily make a trend. But a few things back this up.

Compared to earlier this year, fewer markets are seeing price declines right now. And, forecasts call for price growth to pick up a bit before end of year.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I want you to have breaking info like this as soon as I have it – especially when it looks like something is changing.

DM me "PRICES" and I'll show you exactly what home prices are doing in our local market and what that means for you.

Why a Slight Rise in Foreclosures Doesn’t Signal Another Crash

The foreclosure headlines may sound alarming. Here’s why you shouldn’t panic. Far fewer homes are starting the foreclosure process today compared to 2008. So, even with the recent uptick, foreclosure starts are down about 82% from where they were in 2008. And that means we’re a long way from crash territory. Have questions about what you’re seeing on social media or in the headlines? Let’s connect.

For the 14th year in a row, Americans say real estate is the best long-term investment.

Think about that. Through rising rates, market swings, and all the noise, real estate keeps taking the top spot. That kind of staying power is hard to argue with.

And it makes sense. A home is the one investment that grows your wealth and gives you a place to build your life.

So, what would you pick as the best long-term investment? Drop it in the comments.

And if buying a home is on your mind, send me a message. Let’s talk about what that first step could look like.
