MONDAY MARKET UPDATE… on a Tuesday 🇺🇸

Out of respect for Memorial Day and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country, we pushed this week’s market update back a day.

Now let’s talk about what the Fort Wayne market actually did this week.

📊 THIS WEEK VS 30 DAYS AGO:

90 NEW LISTINGS ⬆️ 23.3%
100 HOMES SOLD ⬆️ 7.5%
65 PRICE CHANGES ⬇️ 27.0%
11 BACK ON MARKET ⬇️ 31.3%
96 PENDING ⬇️ 24.4%
634 TOTAL INVENTORY ⬆️ 8.4%

🚨 HERE’S WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS 🚨

Inventory continues climbing, which finally gives buyers a little more breathing room than we’ve seen recently.

But at the same time…

Price reductions are down.
Back on market is down.
And closed sales are still strong.

That tells me buyers are making cleaner decisions and the good homes are still moving.

📌 BUYERS
You’ve got more options than you did a month ago, which is healthy.

But this still isn’t a market where you can sleep on the right house for a week and expect it to still be there.

The prepared buyers are still winning.

📌 SELLERS
This market is rewarding preparation and pricing strategy.

The homes that show well and hit the market correctly are still getting strong attention.

The ones chasing the market later?
Those are the homes seeing the reductions.

📈 WHAT I’M WATCHING

This feels more balanced than chaotic right now.

More inventory.
Steady closings.
Less fallout.

Honestly, that’s a healthier market than what we’ve seen the last few years.

📌 DISTRICT BREAKDOWN:

🏡 NACS: 14 new | 24 sold | 18 pending | 172 inventory
🏡 SACS: 17 new | 14 sold | 19 pending | 134 inventory
🏡 EACS: 15 new | 15 sold | 15 pending | 141 inventory
🏡 FWCS: 50 new | 60 sold | 61 pending | 336 inventory

FWCS continues leading the county in overall movement, while NACS remains one of the tighter and more competitive areas.

And EACS?
Perfectly balanced across the board this week.

Today isnt about the 3 day weekend.
Today isnt about the door buster sale.
Today isnt about the lake.

Today is about the brave men and women that sacrificed everything to give you the life you live to have a 3 day weekend.

Remember and honor the fallen.

“What if I buy… and home prices go down?”

But what if the sky falls Chicken Little?

That’s one of the biggest concerns buyers have right now — especially with how dramatic the internet likes to make everything sound.

But when you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, history tells a very different story.

Over the last several decades, home prices have consistently trended upward over time. Have there been dips? Absolutely. But historically, they’ve been temporary compared to the long-term growth of home values.

If buyers waited for the “perfect” market conditions every time, most people would still be living with their parents arguing about interest rates at Thanksgiving. 😅

Real estate has always rewarded people who think long term. The buyers who usually win are the ones focused on where they’ll be in 5-10 years — not what one headline said this morning.

The goal isn’t timing the market perfectly.
The goal is buying the right house, at the right payment, for your life and your goals. 📈

And for what it’s worth… people have been saying “now’s a terrible time to buy” for decades. Meanwhile, homeowners kept building equity anyway.

If you’re curious what home prices are actually doing here in Fort Wayne — not just nationally — send me a message. I’ll give you the real local picture.

MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY!!!
MANDATORY MARKET MONDAY UPDATE!!!

🚨 THE INVENTORY TRUCK JUST CRASHED THROUGH THE WALL 🚨

Fort Wayne real estate just dropped over ONE HUNDRED new listings in a single week… and the market is getting REAL interesting.

📊 THIS WEEK VS 30 DAYS AGO:

106 NEW LISTINGS ⬆️ 45.2%
100 SOLD ⬆️ 7.5%
79 PRICE CHANGES ⬇️ 11.2%
14 BACK ON MARKET ⬇️ 12.5%
93 PENDING ⬇️ 26.8%
626 TOTAL INVENTORY ⬆️ 7.0%

🔥 HERE’S THE REAL STORY 🔥

Inventory jumped.
Pending dropped.

That means buyers finally have something they haven’t had in a while:

OPTIONS.

📌 BUYERS
This is your chance to breathe for a second.

More homes are hitting the market, competition cooled off a bit, and inventory finally moved upward instead of getting strangled every week.

That doesn’t mean the market is “slow.” It means leverage is starting to re-enter the chat.

📌 SELLERS
This is where strategy separates winners from stale listings.

You’ve got more competition now.
Buyers are being pickier.
And the homes that look overpriced? They’re getting ignored FAST.

The good news?
Strong homes are STILL selling.
100 closed sales proves buyers are absolutely still active.

📈 WHAT I’M WATCHING
This feels like a market transitioning from chaos… into balance.

More listings.
Steady closings.
Less panic buying.

Honestly? That’s healthier for everybody.

📌 DISTRICT BREAKDOWN:

NACS: 20 new | 28 sold | 19 pending | 171 inventory
SACS: 21 new | 21 sold | 15 pending | 133 inventory
EACS: 18 new | 12 sold | 14 pending | 135 inventory
FWCS: 64 new | 64 sold | 55 pending | 337 inventory

FWCS continues to absolutely dominate total movement, but inventory is climbing across the board.

Translation:
The market isn’t stopping. It’s evolving.

Today is about honoring the men and women who chose service over comfort, sacrifice over convenience, and responsibility over recognition. 🇺🇸

To my fellow members of the Armed Forces — past and present — thank you for your commitment, your resilience, and the countless things you carried so others wouldn’t have to.

No matter the branch, MOS, rank, or years served, we all understand the meaning of standing for something bigger than ourselves.

Proud to have served alongside some incredible people. Happy Armed Forces Day. 🇺🇸

Most homeowners have no idea how much equity they’re actually sitting on.

And honestly? The number surprises people more often than not.

Over the last 6 years, the average homeowner has gained more than $128K in equity. Some homes here locally have climbed even higher depending on location, updates, and timing.

That matters.

Because equity isn’t just a number on paper. It can create options:
• Move-up opportunities
• Renovation potential
• Debt payoff strategies
• Investment leverage
• Or simply knowing where you stand financially

If you’re curious what your home could realistically be worth in today’s market, I can put together a full equity report for you.

No pressure. No obligation. Just real numbers and a better understanding of your biggest asset.

MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY!!!
MANDATORY MARKET MONDAY UPDATE!!!

🔥 THE FORT WAYNE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS BACK IN THE RING 🔥

And this week?
The numbers are LOUD.

📊 THIS WEEK VS 30 DAYS AGO:

77 NEW LISTINGS ⬆️ 8.5%
69 SOLD ⬇️ 13.8%
72 PRICE CHANGES ⬆️ 33.3%
19 BACK ON MARKET ⬆️ 18.8%
127 PENDING ⬆️ 53.0%
598 TOTAL INVENTORY ⬇️ 0.8%

🚨 HERE’S WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS 🚨

Pending sales are up FIFTY THREE PERCENT.
That means buyers are out here throwing elbows trying to lock houses down before summer really hits.

But inventory?
Basically flat.

That’s pressure building.

📌 BUYERS
You’ve got more listings hitting the market…
but competition is heating up FAST.

And with price changes jumping over 30%, sellers are learning quickly:
the market rewards strategy, not wishful thinking.

The clean, prepared buyers?
They’re winning.

📌 SELLERS
This is not the market to “just throw a number out there and see what happens.”

The houses priced right are moving.
The ones chasing the market are doing price reductions later.

Momentum is real right now, but strategy matters more than ever.

📈 DISTRICT BREAKDOWN:

NACS: 4 new | 13 sold | 24 pending | 166 inventory
SACS: 9 new | 17 sold | 21 pending | 127 inventory
EACS: 5 new | 14 sold | 23 pending | 130 inventory
FWCS: 21 new | 41 sold | 70 pending | 322 inventory

FWCS is absolutely MOVING right now, but every district is showing strong pending activity.

Translation?
The market didn’t slow down.
It shifted gears.

6 months with another brokerage and another agent. No direction. No results. No care. No communication. No house.

This buyer reached out to Mike Thomas while I was working on floor time after feeling completely overlooked during his search process. We sat down a few days later, talked through what actually mattered to him, and built a real plan instead of just randomly touring houses.

Total houses toured: 5
Offers written: 1
Current status: PENDING.

That’s it. That's all it took.

A strong lender, clear communication, realistic expectations, and actually listening to the client made the difference.

The crazy part is he genuinely didn’t think he was going to be able to find a house that fit his needs this quickly. Less than a month later, we’ve got one locked up and headed toward closing.

Sometimes the process doesn’t need to be harder. It just needs to make sense.

Using the Force to guide you home.
May the 4th be with you… and your next move.

In this market, things can turn fast.
Multiple offers. Tight timelines.

And if an appraisal comes in low…
I might have to execute Order 66 on that deal 😏

Kidding… mostly.

That’s where strategy comes in:
Pivot, renegotiate, and forward, keep things moving… you must.

Because whether you’re buying or selling,
the goal is the same: win without losing your mind.

MANDATORY MARKET MONDAY UPDATE!!!

🔥 Fort Wayne Real Estate is BACK and it is MOVING 🔥

You don’t need a ticket… but if you’re buying or selling, you better be paying attention.

THIS WEEK VS 30 DAYS AGO:

134 PENDING ⬆️ 61%
90 PRICE CHANGES ⬆️ 66%

🚨 HERE’S THE REAL STORY 🚨

This isn’t a slow market.
This is a full throttle, foot on the gas, don’t blink kind of market.

📌 BUYERS
You wanted more options? You got them. But then again, so did everyone else.

Demand is ripping right now.
If you hesitate, you’re watching someone else win the house.

📌 SELLERS
This is your arena.
Buyers are showing up ready to swing.

Low fallout. High demand.
Price it right and you’re not sitting… you’re selling.

📈 WHAT I’M WATCHING
Inventory barely moved…
…but everything else SPIKED.

That means pressure.
That means speed.
That means strategy wins.

📌 DISTRICT BREAKDOWN (aka the battlegrounds):

NACS: 25 new | 27 sold | 24 pending | 173 inventory
SACS: 21 new | 23 sold | 27 pending | 128 inventory
EACS: 14 new | 23 sold | 18 pending | 133 inventory
FWCS: 56 new | 75 sold | 71 pending | 328 inventory

FWCS is absolutely ripping… but this isn’t just one pocket.
This is movement across the entire market.

If you’re thinking about jumping in…
don’t show up unprepared.

Some deals just take time, the right people, and a WHOLE LOT OF PATIENCE.

These buyers stayed patient (kept their patient pants on according to the buyer) through months of searching, after already going through an agent who wasn’t hearing them. We got clear on what they actually wanted and didn’t settle.

Then we found the one.

First time around, we wrote a strong offer… and lost it by $100. Literally...one...hundred...dollars.....

Most people would’ve moved on....buuuuut....they didn’t.

A month later, that deal fell apart. We moved quickly, and behind the scenes the home came back… quietly, off market. And because we stayed ready and nothing else distracted us, we stepped right back in with the same plan.

This time? Locked up.

Perfect timing. Right house. Right outcome.

That’s what patience + clarity + ex*****on looks like in real estate.

So happy and excited for this family.
