Free advice that could save—or earn—you thousands. 🏡💰

Online home valuations can be a helpful starting point, but they’re far from the full picture. Tools like Zillow rely on limited public data: square footage, bed/bath count, year built, and recent nearby sales. What they don’t know? The custom kitchen renovation, upgraded flooring, or the backyard oasis you’ve poured time and money into.

That’s where things can go sideways. Sellers may overprice (leading to long days on market) or underprice (leaving money on the table). And buyers? They risk overpaying based on incomplete info.

For a truly accurate home valuation, nothing beats an in-person visit from a local real estate expert. A professional agent brings market insight, context, and experience that algorithms simply can’t match.

One of the biggest questions I’m getting right now is: “What’s going to happen with the housing market in the second half of the year?”

And it makes sense why everyone is asking.

Affordability is tight. Rates feel high. Prices do too.

And people want to know if the second half of the year is going to be better.

Here's the honest answer. A lot of it depends on what happens with inflation – and the lingering uncertainty overseas. But even in today’s market, there’s opportunity, if you know where to look.

Because even though you want rates to come down, experts say this latest inflation data could actually set the stage for rates to stay “higher for longer.”

So, what can you do about it? Should you just wait?

My advice is simple. Focus on what you can control.

Even in a market like this, there are things you can do to get the best mortgage rate possible. Because sometimes you need to move no matter what’s happening – and that’s okay.

You just need the right strategy.
