Think every home on the market is out of reach? Not necessarily.

More than 40% of sellers are dropping their asking price right now. And the median list price this July was the lowest for any July in 5 years.

That means sellers aren’t banking on bidding wars or expecting buyers to pay whatever they ask. They’re more willing to meet you where you’re at.

And that could work in your favor.

Own a house with room for multiple generations, with features like an in-law suite or a finished basement with a separate entrance? Buyers are looking for that right now.
These houses tend to get 13.5% more online views than standard homes. They also command a higher list price per square foot – 22% higher, thanks to the extra square footage and special features.
Thinking about moving and want to know what buyers would pay for your house? Reach out and let’s chat about it.

Want to know who's got the upper hand in today's housing market? One number tells you almost everything you need to know. It's the months' supply of homes for sale.

If there's fewer than 4 months? Sellers have the advantage.
Between 4-6 months? Buyers and sellers are on equal footing.
More than 6 months? Buyers have the power.

Right now, nationally, this is the most balanced market we've seen in years. But balanced doesn’t mean the market’s the same everywhere.

Some places are already leaning much more toward buyers. Others still strongly favor sellers.

If you're wondering who's got the upper hand where we live, let's talk. I'll show you what the numbers look like in our market and what they could mean for your next move.

Repeat buyers, you’ve got a big leg up on your next move.

It’s your equity, the difference between what your house is worth and what you still owe on your mortgage. Sell, and that equity turns into cash you can roll right into your next down payment.

That’s how a lot of repeat buyers put down 20% or more. But why do they, especially when they don’t necessarily have to?

Because putting more down saves you money in the long run. A bigger down payment means a smaller loan, so your monthly payment is lower and you’re paying less interest over time.

You can also skip private mortgage insurance, or PMI, which is an additional monthly fee required for loans with less than 20% down.

Talk to a trusted lender to figure out what down payment makes the most sense for your budget. And when you’re ready to kick start your move, let’s talk.

Stuck deciding between buying a home now and holding out for the “perfect” mortgage rate?

The truth is, trying to time the market rarely works. Home prices, mortgage rates, and inflation are all outside your control.

And if you wait for all of them to line up just right, you may be waiting a long time.

My advice? If you want or need to move, look at your own numbers instead.

Because whether it's a good time to buy really comes down to your financial situation.

Can you afford the monthly payment?

Do you have enough money left over as a safety net?

What about for repairs?

It’s not a bad time to buy if the math makes sense for you. And that’s true no matter what you’re hearing about the market right now.

Connect with a trusted lender to run the numbers, then let’s chat.

Buying and selling at the same time and not sure where to start?

With houses staying on the market a little longer these days, selling first could be the right move. It keeps you from juggling two mortgages while you wait for your house to sell.

You’ll also know exactly how much equity you’re walking away with (probably more than you think), and you can put it straight toward your next home.

Not sure where you’d stay in between? That part’s manageable with the right plan.

Let’s talk through the pros and cons. We’ll figure out what makes the most sense for you – and how to make the whole process as stress-free as possible.

Putting off selling because it feels like the market’s at a standstill and no one’s buying right now?

Sure, the pace has cooled in some areas recently. But houses are still selling all the time. In fact, more than 4 million will sell this year.

Do a little math, and that works out to over 11k sold every day, almost 470 an hour, and about eight every minute.

So, don’t count your house out. Another home just sold as you were reading this – let’s make the next one yours.

For most people, their first house was never meant to be their forever home. It was meant to be a stepping stone to whatever came next.
And today's market is creating an interesting opportunity for homeowners who are ready to move up.
Starter homes are still in short supply, which means the house you're selling may be exactly what another buyer has been hoping to find.
At the same time, there are more move-up homes on the market than buyers have had to choose from in years.
Throw in the equity you've likely built over the years, and moving up may be more realistic than you think.
If your current home no longer fits your life, let's talk about what your next chapter could look like.

If you’ve been house-hunting lately, you know the struggle. High prices. And too few homes to choose from.

But this Summer, the tide may be turning in your favor.

Nationally, the median asking price is about $11,000 below where it was a year ago. A sign sellers are meeting buyers where they’re at.

And the number of homes for sale just hit its highest point for any June since 2022.

This doesn’t mean a crash is coming – lower list prices and more options just mean you have more room to find a home that fits your budget and your needs.
