Hello & Happy Monday! 🏡📊

It’s time for your Monday Market Update with Andrew.

As always, he starts with the latest numbers across McHenry County — including current listings, private network activity, and recent sales.

This week, Andrew shares that we’re continuing to see inventory growth, which is great news for buyers. However, demand remains strong, and we still need home builders to continue building in order to keep up.

He also discusses a recent CNBC report showing that home builder sentiment has remained below 40 for the 15th consecutive month. Much of that hesitation is being driven by the rising cost of building materials and uncertainty surrounding economic and policy conditions.

On the financing side, interest rates have remained relatively steady, hovering around the mid-6% range.

And locally? The market is still incredibly active.

Andrew shares that homes across all price points are attracting attention, buyers are staying engaged, and properties continue to move quickly.

The bottom line: inventory is improving, but demand is still strong. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, now is a great time to have a plan in place.

🏡 What exactly is a Private Network in real estate?

It’s one of the questions we hear most often — and for good reason. A Private Network can create unique opportunities for both buyers and sellers, but many people aren’t sure how it works or how it can benefit them.

That’s why Jacolyn, Miranda, and Andrew sat down to discuss everything you need to know in this quick video.

One thing I’ve been asked a lot lately is:

“Why did you move?”

It’s a fair question, especially when I was leaving behind a 2.175% interest rate.

The answer is simple: because the right opportunity came along.

Yes, my new rate is around 7%, but this home was an incredible opportunity. We purchased it below asking price, and even in just a few short months, we’ve already seen its value increase.

Real estate isn’t just about the interest rate — it’s about the bigger picture. Equity, appreciation, location, lifestyle, and long-term wealth all matter.

Would I love a 2.175% rate again? Absolutely. But I wasn’t going to let a low interest rate keep me from making a smart move for my family and my future.

The reality is that real estate has consistently been one of the best ways to build wealth over time. Sometimes the best decision isn’t the one with the lowest monthly payment — it’s the one that positions you for greater opportunities down the road.

That’s why I moved. 🏡✨

Hello & Happy Monday! 🏡📊

It’s time for your Monday Market Update with Miranda & Andrew.

As always, they start with the latest numbers across McHenry County — including current listings, private network activity, and recent sales.

This week, they share some encouraging news: inventory continues to improve week after week. While that’s a positive sign for buyers, we’re still very much in a seller’s market and it will likely take time before we reach a truly balanced market.

They also discuss one of the biggest stories in real estate right now: home appreciation.

In Crystal Lake alone, the median home value has doubled over the past 10 years, a powerful reminder that real estate continues to be one of the strongest long-term investments available.

The market may shift and evolve over time, but one thing remains true: real estate has consistently rewarded those who stay in the market.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply want to understand your options, Miranda & Andrew are here to help.
