We’re halfway through 2025. And, if moving is still on your mind, here’s what you need to know.

No matter what you’re hearing in the news, the market may be cooling, but home prices aren’t crashing.

Based on the latest expert forecasts, prices are still expected to rise nationally – just at a slower pace. But this is going to vary by area.
So, DM me to find out what’s happening here and how our current price trends compare to pre-pandemic norms.

Do you think you need perfect credit to buy a home? Think again.

Data shows there isn’t a one-size-fits-all threshold when it comes to your credit score. Different home loans have different median credit scores.

Check out this breakdown by home loan type, then talk to a lender about your options. Because the only thing worse than not qualifying… is being qualified and not even knowing it.

Despite what you may be hearing in the headlines, experts agree home prices are still projected to rise overall in 2025 – just at a slower pace than we’ve seen recently.

On average, forecasters say it’ll be about a 1.5-2% increase nationwide this year.

While some markets are seeing prices level off or dip slightly right now, a dramatic drop across the board isn’t expected. Prices may even be what some would argue as closer to flat by the end of this year.

But context matters, and what you should always keep in mind is, nationally, prices are up 55% compared to just 5 years ago. So, some slight declines don’t drastically change the game.

But every market is different. So, let’s talk about what prices are doing in our area and what...

Foreclosure headlines are making noise again – and they’re designed to stir up fear to get you to read them. Here’s some data that can put the numbers into perspective.

For context, only 1 in every 758 homes had a foreclosure filing in the first half of 2025 (that’s 0.13%). But during the crash? Back in 2010, Mortgage News Daily says it was 1 in every 45. That’s a big difference.

So, don’t let the headlines scare you. I’ve got the data that can replace fear with facts. This isn’t a sign of trouble – and we’re nowhere near crash levels, no matter what the headlines seem to say.

DM me your questions, or if you want to know how this impacts the value of your home.

A lot of homebuyers are missing a big opportunity in today’s housing market: newly built homes.

Right now, there are more new homes to choose from. And as a result, some builders may be more willing to negotiate on price. Many are even offering better mortgage rates too via something called mortgage rate buy-downs.

This graph shows buyers of newly built homes got a mortgage rate around half a percent lower compared to those who bought existing homes.

That means you could find a great home with a lower mortgage rate, and that might make your monthly payment more manageable than you expected.

If you haven’t considered a newly built home yet, what’s holding you back?

Let’s talk and see if checking out new construction could be the right...

After years of rapidly changing mortgage rates, we’re finally seen something refreshing: a bit more predictability.

Mortgage rates have shown signs of stabilizing in recent months – and that’s a big win for buyers. Because that makes it much easier to plan your budget and your next move.

Want to talk through what buying could look like in today’s market? Let’s talk it over.

Some markets are seeing home prices flatten or dip slightly right now. But over the next 5 years, national price growth is expected to rise overall, just at a slower pace than we’ve seen in years past. And that’s not a sign of a crash.

Over 100 housing experts agree: nationally, home prices are expected to keep going up through 2029, just at a more moderate rate. And that’s a good thing.

I’m following the local data for you, so DM me if you want to hear more about what I see happening with prices in our market.

I’ll help you cut through the short-term noise you may hear in the media, and focus on the long-term trends you really need to know.

Should You Buy a Vacation Home?

If you’re ready to buy your own slice of paradise, let’s talk about making that happen this summer.

Did you see headlines saying that home sales are down? If that made you question if it’s still a good time to sell your house, here’s some perspective for you.

Sure, sales have slowed compared to the frenzy of a few years ago. But that doesn’t mean the market’s at a standstill.

Over 11K homes are still selling every single day – not including new construction. That’s 460 an hour. Or roughly 8 each minute.

Serious buyers are still out there. Let’s make sure they see your house.

Remember all the headlines about investors buying up homes? They didn’t tell the whole story. Investors were never buying a huge share – and now, many of the large ones are actually selling more than they’re buying.

Why? Slower price growth and higher rental costs mean the quick profits they were chasing just aren’t there.

But that’s not why you’re buying. You’re looking for stability, a place to call your own, and long-term value.

Let’s talk about what’s available and what you’re looking for.

Are you waiting for a recession before you make your move? A recent survey shows 3 in 10 homebuyers are because they think rates and prices will fall in an economic slowdown.

But here's some important context that may change your perspective. In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually went up.

That’s right. Price drops aren’t a guarantee. The big drop in 2008 was the exception, not the rule.

Let’s talk about a smarter plan for today’s market.

06/25/2025

While economic uncertainty may pause some moving plans, a recession could actually encourage 3 in 10 homebuyers to purchase, anticipating lower mortgage rates despite prices typically not dropping.

Let’s make a smart plan for today’s market, not one that may never come.
