For the past few years, affordability has stopped a lot of buyers in their tracks.

But here’s something you may have missed while you were sitting on the sidelines.

Housing affordability has improved in all 50 states over the past year. That’s according to new research from First American.

Now, this doesn’t mean buying a home is suddenly affordable for everyone. But the squeeze a lot of buyers felt over the last few years is finally starting to ease.

The Truth Is...

Does the recent rise in foreclosure filings mean we’re headed for another crash? The short answer is no.

Right now, only 1% of all homes are seriously delinquent, meaning the owners are more than 90 days behind on their payments. That’s only 1 in 100.

During the last crash, it was 9%. That’s 1 in 11. And that’s a big difference.

Plus, not every delinquency even turns into a foreclosure. Many homeowners work out repayment plans. Others will use their equity to sell.

So, don’t let foreclosure headlines spark flashbacks to 2008. This isn’t a wave. It’s a ripple at most.

The Truth Is...

A lot of buyers think rates dropping from the low 6s into the upper 5s would dramatically change their monthly payment. But the math tells another story.

On a $500k loan, the difference between getting a 6.1% and 5.9% mortgage rate is only about $64 a month. Not $300. Not $500. Only $60.

That’s not the massive swing many buyers imagine when they say they’re “waiting for the 5s.”

If you’re holding out for a lower rate, my advice is to double check the math. Because rates have already come down significantly from just one year ago. And you may not need to wait any longer.

The numbers could already work better than you expect.

If Your House Isn’t Getting Offers, Read This.

If your listing feels stuck, it’s not a sign you shouldn’t sell. It’s the market giving you feedback. And feedback is powerful when you use it.

Start with a real conversation with a real agent about what’s working and what’s not. Your agent will be able to tell you which small adjustments could totally change the momentum. Because in this market, the sellers who adapt are the ones who move.

The Truth Is...

If you’ve been on social media lately, you may have seen something that says home prices are falling. And that’s causing some people to worry. Let me set the record straight.

When you look at the data, most regions of the country are still seeing prices rise (or at the very least, hold steady). Not fall.

Only the West shows a slight dip, and even there it’s modest.

That’s not a crash. And there’s no reason to worry about your home’s value.

Online chatter tends to shine a spotlight on the few areas that are down. But the bigger picture shows most homeowners are still in a strong position.

If you have questions about what your house is worth or what prices are doing in our local market, let’s have a quick conversation.
