🏡 DON’T LET PAYMENT SHOCK RUIN THE EXCITEMENT OF BUYING A HOME

Finding a home you love is important—but so is making sure the monthly payment feels comfortable long after moving day.

One thing I always encourage buyers to consider is payment shock: when your proposed new housing payment is substantially higher than what you’re currently paying.

Before falling in love with a house, it helps to understand what that future payment will actually feel like in your budget.

A few ways to prepare:

💰 Consider a larger down payment if it makes sense for your financial situation.

📍 Explore lower-cost areas that may offer more comfortable monthly payments.

🧾 Practice your future payment before you buy. Try setting aside the difference between your current housing costs and your estimated new payment for a few months. It can give you a realistic idea of how the change will impact your lifestyle.

Finding a home you love is important, but so is making sure the cost of owning it feels comfortable long after moving day. 🏡 I can help you focus your search around your budget and connect you with a trusted loan officer to make sure you understand the full financial picture. If you’re thinking about buying, send me a message and let’s build a home search around what works for you!

🚨 BUILDERS ARE GETTING CREATIVE—AND BUYERS SHOULD PAY ATTENTION

New-home buyers may have more negotiating power than they realize.

With builder confidence declining and buyer demand slowing, more builders are turning to incentives, price reductions, and financing promotions to attract buyers.

That could mean opportunities like:

💰 Mortgage-rate buydowns
🏡 Closing cost assistance
✨ Included upgrades
📉 Price reductions
🌳 Landscaping incentives

The key is knowing how to compare the total value of an offer—not just the list price.

A $400,000 home with significant incentives could be a very different financial opportunity than a $380,000 home with no assistance.

If you’re considering new construction, now is a good time to explore what builders are offering and understand which incentives could actually benefit your situation.

The best deal isn’t always the lowest price. Sometimes it’s the best overall package.

🏡 BUYERS, YOUR FALL SHOPPING SEASON IS HERE

If you’ve been waiting for a better opportunity to buy a home, the next few weeks could be worth paying attention to.

According to a recent Realtor.com analysis, the week of September 27–October 3 is expected to offer buyers a favorable combination of:

✨ More homes to choose from
💰 More opportunities for price reductions
🤝 Less competition and greater negotiating power

Nationally, inventory during this period is projected to be about 32% higher than at the beginning of the year, while list prices are expected to be approximately 3.5% below their seasonal peak.

And here’s the best part: Dallas and Austin are among the major metros expected to see especially buyer-friendly conditions during this window.

But you don’t have to treat one specific week like a deadline. The real advantage comes from being prepared enough to recognize an opportunity when it appears.

If you’re thinking about buying this fall, now is a great time to:

✔️ Get pre-approved
✔️ Determine your comfortable monthly payment
✔️ Explore neighborhoods and inventory
✔️ Understand where sellers may be willing to negotiate

More choices + less urgency = a much more comfortable way to shop for a home.

🏡 THE HOUSING MARKET DIDN’T CRASH—IT KEPT CLIMBING

Despite years of predictions about a housing crash, home prices continued to rise in the second quarter of 2026.

According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency:

📈 National home prices increased 2.1% year over year in Q2 2026.

🏠 Prices rose in 47 states and Washington, D.C.

Texas was one of the slower-growing states overall, with prices increasing just 0.5% annually—but that doesn’t tell the whole story.

Local markets varied significantly:

* El Paso: Home prices rose 6.5%, ranking fifth among the nation’s 100 largest metros.
* San Antonio–New Braunfels: Prices declined 3.0%.
* Other Texas markets continue to experience their own unique mix of inventory, demand, and affordability.

The takeaway? There is no single Texas housing market.

What’s happening in El Paso can look completely different from what’s happening in San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, or Fort Worth.

If you’re buying or selling, national headlines only tell part of the story. Your neighborhood, price range, and local market conditions matter far more.

Wondering what the numbers actually look like in your area? Let’s talk. 📊

🏡 BUYERS, THIS IS YOUR MARKET.

Housing inventory just hit a 6-year high—and that’s giving buyers something they haven’t had much of in recent years:

CHOICES. 👀

New listings jumped 4.3% year over year in August, while the total number of homes for sale climbed nearly 4% from July.

And Texas buyers are seeing some serious negotiating power:

📍 Austin: 82.3% of homes sold below asking
📍 San Antonio: 82.1%
📍 Dallas: 79%
📍 Houston: 77.4%

That means sellers are increasingly having to negotiate on price, and in some markets, prices are actually moving lower.

But here’s the important part: more inventory doesn’t mean every home is a bargain. The right strategy depends on the neighborhood, price point, condition, and how motivated the seller is.

If you’ve been waiting for a market where you can shop around, negotiate, and actually have some leverage, this is worth paying attention to.

The market has changed. Has your strategy changed with it? 🏠👇

🚨 CONVENTIONAL LOANS JUST GOT A BIG UPGRADE

Getting denied for a mortgage because your income doesn’t quite fit the numbers? This could change things. 👀

A major conventional loan guideline change may allow eligible borrowers to use assets in checking, savings, and investment accounts to help create qualifying income—and you don’t have to be a certain age to potentially benefit.

What could that mean?

💰 More qualifying income
🏡 More buying power
📉 Potentially fewer DTI-related denials
🔑 Down payments as low as 3–5% for eligible buyers

This is especially interesting for buyers who have significant assets but income that doesn’t tell the whole financial story.

And if you’ve been told “you don’t qualify” before, it may be worth having a lender take another look.

Mortgage guidelines change. Your options might too.

Thinking about buying? Let’s talk before you assume you can’t. 🏡

🇺🇸 HAPPY LABOR DAY! 🇺🇸

Today is a good reminder that behind every home, neighborhood, and community are people who work hard to make it all happen. 🏡

From the teachers getting classrooms ready, to the first responders working today, the tradespeople building our homes, the small business owners keeping our communities going, and everyone putting in the work day after day—thank you.

And to my fellow real estate professionals… we know “9 to 5” can be more of a suggestion than a schedule. 😂🔑

Hope everyone gets a chance to slow down, enjoy the long weekend, and spend some time with the people who make all that hard work worth it.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸❤️

🏡 Who’s Next?

Buying a house? Selling one? Thinking about making a move but still trying to figure out what that even looks like?

I’d love to be your Realtor. 🙋🏾‍♀️

Whether you’re ready to jump in or you’re still in the “let’s just see what’s out there…” phase (aka scrolling Zillow at midnight 😂), I’m happy to help you figure out your options.

No pressure. No awkward sales pitch. Just good advice, honest answers, and someone in your corner from “maybe…” to “we’re moving!” 🔑

So… who’s ready to make a move? 👀

🏠₿ YOUR BITCOIN COULD HELP BUY YOUR NEXT HOME

Homebuyers may have a new way to come up with a down payment—and it involves Bitcoin. 👀

A new mortgage option from Better Mortgage and Coinbase allows eligible buyers to use Bitcoin as collateral for a separate loan, rather than selling their crypto to fund the down payment.

Here’s the interesting part:

₿ You don’t have to sell your Bitcoin
🏡 Bitcoin is pledged as collateral
💰 The Bitcoin-backed loan can help fund the down payment
📉 No margin calls if Bitcoin’s value drops
⚠️ But the collateral can be liquidated if the borrower becomes more than 60 days delinquent
🇺🇸 Currently available to eligible U.S. residents with a verified Coinbase account

And there’s an important catch: borrowers must pledge Bitcoin worth at least 250% of the down-payment loan.

Crypto + real estate = a pretty interesting combination.

Would you consider using Bitcoin as collateral to buy a home, or would you rather keep your crypto completely separate from your real estate? 👇

I’ve had the honor of being recognized as a D Magazine Top Agent since 2019, and every year, this recognition means something a little different.

I’m so grateful for every client who has trusted me, every referral that has come my way, and every friend, family member, and colleague who continues to support my business.

Thank you for allowing me to do what I love—and for being part of this journey! 🏡💜
