My Real Estate prediction?

We’ll start to see a buyer–seller balance return in Q1 2026, with a slow shift back to a seller’s market by Q2.

If you’re thinking about buying, don’t wait, this current market gives you leverage, options, and room to negotiate.

📉 More inventory
📊 Balanced pricing
💥 Less competition

This is just my opinion based on market trends and experience but if I’m right, the best window to buy is happening right now.

“It’s not slowing down. It’s shifting smart.”

Thinking of Selling? Read This First.

Inventory is up across Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas Counties… which means if you’re getting ready to list, strategy matters now more than ever.

📊 Prices have dipped a bit, days on market are stretching longer, and buyers are negotiating harder, because they can. That doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling. It just means the ones that stand out and are priced right are the ones that get offers.

Here’s what I’m telling sellers right now:

✔️ Don’t overprice. It’s tempting, but it’ll backfire.
✔️ Presentation still matters. The photos. The prep. The vibe.
✔️ Flexibility wins. Be ready to negotiate smart, not desperate.
✔️ Use hyperlocal data. Neighborhood-level strategy changes everything.

If you’re curious what your home could sell for in today’s market, or want a real plan to make it happen, I’ve got you.

🏡 Mortgage Rate Update – Central Texas | Week of June 10, 2025

Freddie Mac reports the average 30-year fixed mortgage is now at 6.85%, with most lenders quoting daily rates around 6.96% as of midweek. That’s a slight but meaningful dip, and in this market, small shifts matter.

💡 Why this matters for YOU:
• Even a 0.25% drop in rate can save $100–$150/month on a typical $300K mortgage.
• More homes are hitting the market, and sellers are open to real conversations.
• This is one of the most balanced buyer moments we’ve seen in over a year.

If you’ve been watching the market and wondering when to move, this might be your sign. Let’s talk options before summer heats up.

Homebuyers—this could be your window.

A new U.S.–China deal has settled some market nerves, and inflation is cooling. That’s the kind of combination that could help mortgage rates stabilize, or even dip slightly, in the short term.

We’re not out of the woods, though. Rates could climb again if the global market shifts or if China makes any bold financial moves.

So if you’re thinking about buying, this might be your smartest window to act, not to chase the perfect rate, but to secure the right one while the door’s still open.

It’s not about timing the bottom. It’s about being ready when it makes sense.

🏡 Real Estate Lending Insight – June 2025
First-time homebuyers now make up 58% of all agency-backed loans, a historic high, per the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA, Q1 2025).

🎯 Why it matters if you’re buying:
You’re not alone. The market is shifting toward you. Lenders and sellers are paying attention to first-time buyers again, and programs with lower down payments or flexible underwriting are seeing renewed focus.

💬 Translation: If you’ve been on the fence, this may be your window, especially before more buyers re-enter the game later this year.

📣 Real Talk in Real Estate: Communication is Everything.

Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction, it’s a relationship. And like any strong relationship, communication is the foundation.

🔑 For clients: Don’t be afraid to ask questions, speak your truth, and set expectations.

🔑 For agents: Listen first. Respond with clarity. Keep people informed before they have to ask.

No ghosting. No guessing. No assumptions.

Whether we’re celebrating an accepted offer or navigating a tough inspection, clear communication builds trust, saves time, and makes the process smoother for everyone involved.

If you’re working with me, you’ll always know where things stand because communication isn’t optional, it’s the standard.

📍 Central Texas Buyers—This Market Might Be Your Window

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, this might be it.

Here’s what the numbers are saying right now across Central Texas:

🛑 Prices Are Leveling Off
In Copperas Cove, the median sale price dropped about 3.4% year-over-year, now sitting around $246,000. That’s real affordability, especially compared to the rest of the state.

🕒 Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell
Average days on market? 61 days. That’s more time to breathe, tour, and actually think before writing an offer.

📈 Inventory Is Growing
Across the region, listings are up over 19%, giving buyers more selection and stronger negotiation power. This isn’t the multiple-offer chaos we saw during the pandemic surge.

💸 Austin Rents Are Falling
Median rent just dropped 8.8% … the biggest rent drop in the country. That’s a sign: more people are renting again because home prices soared. But if you’re able to buy now, you’ll be ahead of the next wave.

💎 Why It Matters:

This is the shift we’ve been waiting for. More homes. Softer prices. Less pressure.

If you’ve been priced out before, or just overwhelmed—this version of the market is built for strategy, not speed.

🎯 Ready to stop scrolling Zillow and start making moves?
