Why Buyers and Sellers Are Stuck
Lately, I’m hearing from both buyers and sellers who feel caught in a holding pattern—and it’s easy to see why. Higher mortgage rates are slowing demand, making those monthly payments tougher to justify for many buyers, so more of you are choosing to pause your search. Even pending sales are losing momentum, as fewer buyers are moving from house hunting to actually writing offers. On the other side, homeowners who locked in lower mortgage rates aren’t eager to let go of those great deals, so we’re seeing fewer new listings hit the market. The end result? We’re experiencing a true housing stalemate: buyers are hoping for better payment options, sellers are reluctant to give up their low rates, and things are moving more slowly than usual. After nearly 20 years helping people navigate the ups and downs of our local market, I know how challenging this kind of environment can feel. If you’re weighing your next step, you’re not alone—and there are always options to explore.

More Homes Hit the Market as Demand Cools
We're seeing more homes come to market these days—new US listings edged up by 0.4% in the four weeks ending August 23, and total homes for sale rose 0.5%, marking the highest inventory since early Q2. At the same time, pending home sales dipped 1.1% week-over-week to a six-month low, as high housing costs have understandably given many buyers pause, even with more options available nationwide. The median US home-sale price increased 1.9% year-over-year, now topping $400,000, while average mortgage rates hover close to 7%—a 13-month high.

For clients actively looking, this environment is offering more negotiating power—especially on homes that have been listed for a few weeks. Sellers who price realistically, rather than chasing last year’s highs, are seeing the best results. As someone who’s navigated buyers and sellers through every kind of market in the greater Seattle and Everett areas, I believe a thoughtful approach—grounded in current data and strong negotiation—can make all the difference. The right strategy matters, whether you’re finding your next home or positioning your property to stand out.

2027 Brings Promising Homebuying Opportunities Ahead
Many folks are holding out hope that homebuying will get easier soon—but what can we realistically expect by 2027? Current projections suggest mortgage rates will still hover around 7%, while home prices may rise another 2.2%. That increase is fueled by inflation and persistently high building costs, which together will keep affordability tight—even though there could be some price relief in 2026. After nearly two decades helping buyers and sellers navigate the greater Seattle and Everett markets, I know how important it is to keep a close eye on these shifts and plan ahead. If you’re weighing your options for the next few years, understanding these trends is the first step to making confident decisions.

US Home Prices Face Real Value Erosion
As we move through Q2 2026, I’m keeping a close eye on how real home values are shifting for buyers and sellers in our market. Nominal home prices continued their upward march, but interestingly, one federal index held steady month-over-month after seasonal adjustment from mid to late Q2. Nationally, prices appreciated about 1.5% year-over-year in late Q2—an uptick from 1% in mid-Q2—yet this still lagged behind inflation, which hovered around 3.5%. That means, after accounting for inflation, real home values actually declined for the 13th month in a row. The pace of this erosion has slowed, thanks to easing inflation and stronger headline gains, but the trend persists.

It’s worth noting that, since early 2012, one key federal measure has shown positive annual appreciation every single quarter—demonstrating how resilient our nominal prices have been, even under inflationary pressure. Heading into the second half of the year, affordability remains front and center. Typical monthly payments for existing single-family homes have climbed again quarter-over-quarter, making things especially tough for first-time buyers. As always, I’m committed to helping you navigate these shifts, drawing on my experience and the personalized strategies that define my approach as "Your Friend in Real Estate."

Builder confidence rises in August
August brought a modest uptick in builder confidence, rising to 35—still shy of the 50 mark that signals a robust outlook. What’s interesting for those eyeing new construction or planning a move: the Midwest and Northeast saw improvements, while builder sentiment in the South and West held steady or dipped. High costs, fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty continue to shape the landscape, but custom homes and smaller markets are holding their own. As someone who has guided clients through countless new construction transactions in the Seattle and Everett areas, I know how much these trends can impact your options. Staying informed helps us navigate the best path to your next home, even in a shifting market.

July Sees Steady Demand Despite 10.5% Sales Adjustment
July brought a noticeable shift in the new single-family home market, with sales dropping 10.5% from June to 607,000 units—down 6.3% from last year. Inventory ticked up 1.9%, leaving buyers with 488,000 options and a 9.6-month supply. Interestingly, while the median sales price dipped 2.3% to $393,800, the average price actually increased 4.1% to $508,800. As someone who’s spent nearly two decades guiding buyers and sellers through ever-changing markets in the Seattle and Everett areas, I’ve seen firsthand how these numbers can shape both strategy and opportunity. Whether you’re weighing a move, considering new construction, or just staying informed, understanding these shifts is key to making confident real estate decisions.

Home-Purchase Loans Increased in Nearly 80% of Major Metropolitan Areas in 2025
Seeing home-purchase loans rise in nearly 80% of major metro areas in 2025 is an encouraging sign for those considering a move or upgrade. Mortgage applications nudged up 2% to 6.68 million, with 3.6 million loans originated, and average rates eased to 6.4%. While activity still trails pre-pandemic levels, this uptick suggests renewed confidence. In my work across the Seattle and Everett area, I’ve noticed how shifts like these open new opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you’re relocating, exploring new construction, or navigating your next real estate chapter, having a strong advocate and tailored strategy can make all the difference.

US Confidence Hits Seven-Mo Low
Recent data shows that US consumer confidence has dipped to a seven-month low, even though many people still feel fairly positive about current conditions. The present-conditions index climbed by about 7 points to 121, but expectations for income, business, and jobs took a hit—dropping the expectations gauge by roughly 6 points to 68, a level often linked to recession risk. Early in the third quarter, employers cut 23,000 jobs and unemployment hovered around 4%, mainly because more folks left the workforce rather than a surge in new hiring. Despite this softer outlook, homebuying expectations only eased slightly in mid-Q3 and actually continued to rise, with about 61% still anticipating higher interest rates ahead. With federal policymakers keeping rates steady and markets signaling little short-term relief, it looks like borrowing costs will remain elevated for buyers through the end of the year. As someone who’s spent two decades guiding buyers and sellers in the Puget Sound region, I know how important it is to stay informed and adaptable—especially as the real estate landscape shifts. The right strategy and support can make all the difference in a changing market.

More Homes Hit the Market as Demand Cools
We're seeing an interesting shift in the housing market lately: in the four weeks ending August 23, the number of new listings across the US ticked up by 0.4%, and total homes for sale increased by 0.5%, reaching their highest level since early Q2. While this means more options for buyers, demand has cooled—pending home sales dropped 1.1% to a six-month low, as many buyers remain cautious due to high housing costs. The median sale price still edged up 1.9% year over year to just above $400K, with mortgage rates hovering near 7%, the highest we've seen in over a year.

For those actively searching, this environment is creating more room to negotiate—especially on homes that have been listed for several weeks. Sellers who price realistically, rather than chasing last year’s numbers, are seeing the best results. In my experience working with both buyers and sellers in the greater Seattle and Everett area, having the right strategy and a clear understanding of current local trends is key to making the most of these evolving conditions. As "Your Friend in Real Estate," my focus is always on strong negotiation and smart marketing to help clients navigate opportunities no matter which side of the transaction they're on.

Fannie Mae predicts shift in mortgage rates, housing market
Fannie Mae’s latest outlook offers some valuable perspective for those navigating our local real estate market: the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is holding steady at 6.55% and has now exceeded 6.5% for nine weeks. This has contributed to a 2.2% dip in home sales. Looking ahead, rates are projected to hover around 6.4% until 2026, with home sales expected to dip modestly before picking up again in 2027. As someone who has guided buyers and sellers through many market shifts here in the greater Seattle and Everett areas, I’ve seen how understanding these trends can help you make confident choices—whether you’re relocating, upsizing, or exploring new construction opportunities. Staying informed is key to making the most of your next move.
