When it comes to buying a home, it's generally a good idea to talk to a real estate or mortgage professional to understand your specific options as well as the nuances of your market. But while market and rate dynamics are always changing, there are some hard and fast rules to buying that keep you on the right track throughout your journey!

Market Monday | January 26 🏡📊

The market is off to a steady start as we move through January. Inventory is beginning to pick up, giving buyers a few more options, while well-priced homes are still selling quickly. Interest rates continue to be a big conversation point, but motivated buyers and sellers are finding ways to make deals happen.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, staying informed is key. If you have questions about what today’s market means for you—or want a personalized look at your home’s value—feel free to reach out. And if you know someone who’s considering a move this year, I’d love to help them too!

Happy Monday!

The market is becoming more accessible. Whether you are a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade, the path to your front door just got a little smoother.

Mortgage rates for a 30-year fixed loan dipped this week to 6.06%, down from 6.16% last week. This marks the lowest level seen in more than three years, following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a $200 billion mortgage-backed securities (MBS) buyback plan.

So what impact does this have on your monthly mortgage payment? And what does this mean for homebuyers?

Here’s the monthly cost of purchasing a typical home today.

You may find a home that checks every box, except the price, which seems far too high for the neighborhood. Is the seller testing the market, or signaling they’ll only sell for a premium?

That question matters more in 2026, as home prices are forecast to rise 2.2%, but inflation is expected to outpace those gains—meaning “real” prices will actually decrease. Knowing whether an overpriced listing is worth your time is trickier than ever, but there are ways to tell.

MARKET MONDAY: The January Advantage ❄️

Everyone waits for the "Spring Market" to buy, but here’s a secret: The most strategic buyers are out right now.

Here is why January 5th is your power date: 1️⃣ Less Noise: You aren't competing with the wave of buyers that will hit the market in March/April. 2️⃣ Serious Sellers: Sellers with homes on the market today are often highly motivated to close before the new quarter ends. 3️⃣ Negotiating Power: With inventory levels recovering, we’re seeing more sellers open to inspections and closing cost credits—things that were impossible a few years ago.

Don't wait for the crowd. Let’s get you pre-approved this week so you’re ready to strike while others are still making resolutions. 🔑

Wishing you a year filled with growth, success, and new beginnings! ✨

MARKET MONDAY: Beat the Spring Rush 📈

Most sellers wait until April to list. Here’s why that might be a mistake:

1️⃣ Inventory is at a seasonal low. Your home will be the "shiny new object" with zero competition. 2️⃣ Buyers are motivated. People looking for homes on December 29th aren't "just looking"—they need to move! 3️⃣ Tax Benefits. Starting the process now can have significant advantages for your 2026 financial planning.

If you’re curious what your home could sell for in the 2026 market, let’s do a "No-Pressure Coffee." I’ll bring the data, you bring the questions. ☕
