Halfway Through the Year & Grateful Beyond Measure

As we move through 2026, I’m taking a moment to reflect on what an incredible year it has already been.

🏡 14 closed transactions
💰 $6,042,000 in closed sales volume
📈 Over $1.5 million currently pending
🤝 And several more clients actively preparing to buy and sell before year-end.

None of this happens without the trust of my amazing clients and the support of my referral partners. Whether you’ve bought, sold, referred a friend, shared my name, or trusted me to guide you through one of life’s biggest decisions—thank you.

Real estate is about so much more than contracts and closings. It’s about relationships, communication, negotiation, and having an advocate who puts your goals first every step of the way.

With years of local market knowledge, proven results, and a commitment to exceptional service, I’m honored to continue helping families make confident real estate decisions throughout Western North Carolina.

If you’re considering buying, selling, relocating, or simply want to know what your home may be worth in today’s market, I’d love the opportunity to earn your trust and discuss your goals.

Could waiting until later this year work out? Sure. But it's important to understand what you may gain by moving now too – that way you have the full picture before you decide.

If a 2026 move is on your radar, let’s connect and talk about what matters most to you. Depending on your priorities, Summer could be your moment.

A lot of people who want to move are telling themselves the same thing: "Maybe I'll just wait until later this year once things calm down."

🏡 Under Contract x 2️⃣🎉

It's been an exciting few weeks helping two very different properties find their next owners!

63 Old Spring Drive | Candler, NC
This beautiful custom-built home checked all the boxes with its open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, stunning stone fireplace, oversized granite island, main-level primary suite, flexible bonus space, and private outdoor living areas. My sellers built this house in 2020 on over half an acre with no HOA. It's easy to see why the buyers fell in love with this one so quickly.

276 Oleta Mill Trail | Hendersonville, NC
A true mountain retreat! Nestled within the gated community of Oleta Falls, this charming log cabin offers a peaceful escape surrounded by protected forests, hiking trails, waterfalls, river access, and incredible community amenities. Whether enjoyed as a private getaway or long-term rental investment, this unique property captured the attention of my CA buyers who were looking for a special place to call home. This is the third home I've helped them purchase.

Congratulations to my sellers and buyers on reaching this exciting milestone! Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process.

Online posts are going to make things sound worse than they are. If you want a true, data-bound look at what’s really happening in today’s market, lean on a real estate agent.

Let’s connect so you have someone to separate fact from fiction today.

There’s a lot of uncertainty right now and that’s leading to some dramatic headlines.

06/11/2026

After a year or more of rates coming down, things have changed. And lately, mortgage rates have been climbing again.

And if that's made you wonder whether you should delay your move until they drop, you're not the only one.

The honest truth is that rates probably won't come down much until inflation cools off and some of the global uncertainty settles. And no one knows exactly when that'll be.

But what most headlines won't tell you is that rates aren't the only thing that affects affordability. Sure, they’re a big factor, but not all of the affordability news is bad.

Wages, home prices, and inventory are all trending in a direction that could still help make your move possible.

Want to know what that actually looks like for your situation? Drop a comment or send me a DM.

Because even though rates are higher, there are pockets of opportunity in any market, if you know where to look.

06/10/2026

Yes, rates have been volatile, and global instability is keeping them from settling down anytime soon. There’s no sugar coating that. But the full picture of affordability is more nuanced than the headlines suggest.

Want to run the real numbers for your situation? Let's talk. Reach out and let's set up a quick, no-pressure conversation.

Let's be real with each other for a second about affordability.

06/08/2026

Inflation is still above where the Fed wants it, and that means mortgage rates are likely to stay elevated for a while. But for people who need to move, strategy matters far more than trying to perfectly time the market.

Wondering what this means for your specific situation? Reach out today. Let's cut through the noise together and make a plan that actually works for you.

Data shows inflation is moving in the wrong direction. But before the headlines send anyone into a panic, here's what's actually going on, why it matters for the housing market, and what it means if you're thinking about buying or selling.

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.

Let's talk about what this means for your situation and your timing. Drop a comment below or send over a message.

Because you don’t have to figure it out alone. And there are still ways to move forward.
