More buyers are going to jump back into the housing market this year.
A recent survey shows that 15% of people plan to buy, and over half of them have already started looking at homes online.
Your house could be exactly what they’re searching for.
If selling’s been on your mind, why not take advantage of the increase in interested buyers?
Be honest — what’s actually holding you back from selling? DM me and let’s talk it over.

If you’re doubting whether you’ll be able to afford a home right now, here’s something to think about. If you’re open to putting in the work, a fixer-upper could be your path to homeownership.

Data shows the asking price for fixer-uppers is typically 29% less than you’d see for move-in-ready options. And, they give you the chance to build equity fast as you make updates.

Would you ever take on a fixer-upper, or do you prefer a move-in ready home? Let me know in the comments.

Are you planning to retire in 2025? Your house might be the key to unlocking the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about.
Home prices have risen dramatically the last few years and that means your net worth has too. If you sell your current house and downsize, you can free up more of that wealth and:
- Lower your cost of living
- Simplify your life with less upkeep
- Gain greater financial flexibility
Ready to explore how downsizing could fuel your retirement goals? DM me.

Trying to time your move for when mortgage rates and home prices fall? Here’s what you should know.

The truth is: there is no perfect time to move.

In any market there are going to be benefits and trade-offs you’ll have to deal with. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities to make your move happen.

With today’s affordability challenges, we need to have the right strategies in place. DM me and I’ll show you what I mean.

Are you hesitant to sell your house right now because you think the market’s at a standstill and no one wants to buy at today’s rates? Here’s some perspective that can help.

While higher home prices and mortgage rates have slowed the market down, that doesn’t mean the market isn’t active.

More than 11K homes are still selling every single day in this country – not including new construction. That’s over 470 an hour and 8 a minute.

Over 11,000 homes will sell today – will yours be one of them?

Curious about what to expect from this year’s housing market? Here’s what the experts are saying.

Mortgage rates should come down a bit – but don’t expect the return of 3%. Instead, budget for rates likely in the mid 6s by the end of the year.

And home prices will keep rising, just not as fast. On average, experts are saying they’ll go up by about 3% this year – a much more normal, sustainable pace.

Not sure what that means for you and your plans to buy or sell? DM me and let’s talk about it.

Cooler weather usually brings cooler home prices.

Data shows homes are typically about 5% less expensive in the winter compared to when prices usually peak in the summer. That’s because competition slows down and sellers are more open to negotiating this time of year.

Ready to take advantage of the seasonal shift and make your budget go further? Let’s find your next home.

Don’t rely on online estimates to figure out what your house is worth.

While they’re definitely convenient, they’re not 100% accurate. That's because they don’t include key details like your home’s condition, updates you’ve made, and what’s happening right here in our local market.

Homebuyers, have you heard? There are more newly built homes available right now than usual.

And the best part is that a lot of these new builds have a smaller footprint, which may come with a lower price too.

And just in case this has you wondering, this doesn’t mean builders are overbuilding. There's still a long way to go to make up for years of underbuilding.
