Foreclosure headlines are making noise again – and they’re designed to stir up fear to get you to read them. Here’s some data that can put the numbers into perspective.

For context, only 1 in every 758 homes had a foreclosure filing in the first half of 2025 (that’s 0.13%). But during the crash? Back in 2010, Mortgage News Daily says it was 1 in every 45. That’s a big difference.

So, don’t let the headlines scare you. I’ve got the data that can replace fear with facts. This isn’t a sign of trouble – and we’re nowhere near crash levels, no matter what the headlines seem to say.

DM me your questions, or if you want to know how this impacts the value of your home.

Are you thinking of waiting for mortgage rates to drop before you buy? According to the latest forecast, you could be waiting for a while.

Expert projections show rates aren’t expected to change much anytime soon. And, after the past few years, that kind of stability is actually a good thing. Because it means you can finally plan with a little more confidence.

I’ll keep you posted as I see changes in these forecasts, especially as the economic data shifts.

But let’s talk about what’s possible for you right now.

Are you thinking about selling your house? A few simple mistakes could end up costing you big time – and most sellers don’t even realize they’re making them.

Things like pricing too high, spending money on the wrong upgrades, or refusing to negotiate can all hurt your sale. Fortunately, they’re easy to avoid when you have an expert on your side.

Let’s talk about how to get your house sold without leaving money on the table.

What’s one thing you’d want advice on before putting your house on the market?

A lot of homebuyers are missing a big opportunity in today’s housing market: newly built homes.

Right now, there are more new homes to choose from. And as a result, some builders may be more willing to negotiate on price. Many are even offering better mortgage rates too via something called mortgage rate buy-downs.

This graph shows buyers of newly built homes got a mortgage rate around half a percent lower compared to those who bought existing homes.

That means you could find a great home with a lower mortgage rate, and that might make your monthly payment more manageable than you expected.

If you haven’t considered a newly built home yet, what’s holding you back?

Let’s talk and see if checking out new construction could be the right move for you.

Are you worried about home prices dropping? Here’s the 5-year rule every buyer should know.

If you plan to stay put for at least 5 years, history says you’ll likely have a buffer from any short-term dips. That’s because home values tend to rise over time.

Even with recent drops in some markets, in most places, prices are still up considerably compared to just 5 years ago. That’s the power of the long view.

Let’s talk about what the latest price trends are in our local market – and what that means for your move.

12/23/2025

Some markets are seeing home prices flatten or dip slightly right now. But over the next 5 years, national price growth is expected to rise overall, just at a slower pace than we’ve seen in years past. And that’s not a sign of a crash.

Over 100 housing experts agree: nationally, home prices are expected to keep going up through 2029, just at a more moderate rate. And that’s a good thing.

I’m following the local data for you, so DM me if you want to hear more about what I see happening with prices in our market.

I’ll help you cut through the short-term noise you may hear in the media, and focus on the long-term trends you really need to know.

12/20/2025

Out of 100+ expert forecasters, here’s the real story on where they say home prices are headed.

The average projection is about 3.3% price growth per year, through 2029.

Optimists say closer to 5.0% per year. Pessimists expect around 1.3% per year.

So, do they all agree exactly? No. But here’s the clear consensus: nobody’s projecting a crash.

Steady, healthy growth is the story. Yes, there will be regional and local variations with slight ups and downs in some areas, but not wild spikes or major national declines.

Every market will be a little bit different, so if you want to know how your neighborhood fits into this equation, DM me and we’ll have a conversation about what I’m seeing in our local numbers.

Selling and buying at the same time sounds overwhelming – but people do it every day (with way less stress than you’d think).

The key? Knowing which step to take first. Should you sell your current place before you buy your next one, or flip that order?

This quick visual will help you start thinking it through, but the real clarity comes from talking to someone who knows your market.

Send me a quick message and let's talk about the best plan for you.

It’s getting a bit easier to qualify for a mortgage right now.

The Mortgage Credit Availability Index is rising, meaning more people are able to secure financing for a home loan – even with lower credit scores or smaller down payments. In fact, it’s easier to get a loan now than it’s been in almost three years.

But we’re still well below where qualification levels were just a few years ago, so it’s not too easy. And because lending standards are still solidly in check, there’s no sign this will lead to risky loans or another crash.

Lenders are trying to boost activity in the housing market, and that gives you an opportunity. You may qualify today, even if you didn’t a few months ago. Talk to a lender to see what’s possible.

12/16/2025

Did you see headlines saying that home sales are down? If that made you question if it’s still a good time to sell your house, here’s some perspective for you.

Sure, sales have slowed compared to the frenzy of a few years ago. But that doesn’t mean the market’s at a standstill.

Over 11K homes are still selling every single day – not including new construction. That’s 460 an hour. Or roughly 8 each minute.

Serious buyers are still out there. Let’s make sure they see your house.

12/13/2025

Are you thinking about selling your house? Don’t go it alone.

From setting the right price to navigating all the documents and negotiations, a great agent brings the strategy and support you need to sell with confidence.

They know the local market, can adjust to shifting conditions, and help you avoid costly mistakes.

Bottom line: an agent doesn’t just list your house – they help you sell smarter and faster.

What questions do you have about selling your house right now or about the process in general?

12/12/2025

Nearly 1 in 5 buyers today are purchasing a home with their parents, adult kids, or extended family – and affordability is a big reason why.

When mortgage rates and home prices are high, teaming up can be the key to making homeownership possible. You can share expenses and maybe qualify for a bigger home than you’d be able to get on your own.

Buying solo isn’t the only way in. Let’s talk creative solutions.
