I am honored and proud to once again be a top agent for my brokerage. I sincerely want to thank all of my FB friends and clients for always recommending me and who also continue to refer me. Y’all put food on my table and gas in my chidíí. These other agents listed are phenomenal people and I am always grateful to be counted among their ranks.

I do the best I can to go above and beyond for my all my clients. This year I literally worked on more than a few homes to get my buyers closed and into them. (photos attached) I've always done my very best to ensure that my clients have the best possible position when buying a home.

Thank you all for your continued support! Thank you for the tags, recommendations and referrals!

Housing affordability is on its way out the door in 2022. Rents are at an all time high and expected to continue to increase in the coming year. Mortgage rates are relatively low but expected to increase over the next year. Housing Supply is still fairly low which is going to keep demand and competition high. Home prices are expected to climb over the next year by at least 7%. We are in one of the worst affordability markets in the US, and its only expected to get worse. If you were sitting on the bench waiting for the market to drop to buy a house you might be missing the boat completely. For years we've all been watching the market, and saying that we are eventually going to hit California pricing, well, Its nearly here. You can still buy a home for less than you are renting in MOST areas but that is going to change this year. If you've been sitting on the fence you might want to think about buying now. We might only be going up from here.

Affordability has dropped to the lowest level since 2008 nationwide, amid rising interest rates and home prices.
