Home Prices Are Rising in 71% of Markets

Even though you may be hearing talk about prices crashing online, it’s not true nationally. While some areas are seeing slight declines, prices are still going up in 71% of markets. That means the majority are seeing prices rise, not fall. So, don’t believe everything you hear online. If you want the truth, lean on the pros.

The first week on the market is the most important.

Overpricing can lead to less interest, longer days on market, and eventually price reductions that weaken your position.

Homes priced correctly attract attention immediately and can create stronger competition.

The right price is not about guessing high. It is about understanding the market and positioning strategically.

That is how you maximize results.

Should You Pay for Your Buyer’s Closing Costs? What Sellers Need To Know.

The sellers having the most success today are the ones who understand the market has changed and are adapting to meet it where it is.

Sometimes that means negotiating on closing costs. Sometimes it means offering something else. The key is knowing which concessions are worth it for our local market.

If you’re wondering what's normal in our area, what's worth negotiating, and where it makes sense to stand firm, let’s connect.

A few years ago, sellers could get away with saying "no" to just about everything.

In competitive markets, the highest offer does not always win. Terms, timing, and overall strength matter just as much as price.

Sellers are looking for certainty. Clean financing, flexible timelines, and fewer contingencies can make a significant difference.

Buyers who understand how to structure a strong offer position themselves ahead of the competition.

It is not just about offering more.
It is about offering smarter.

The FBI stopped a terror plot involving as many as two dozen perpetrators to attack Sunday’s UFC 250 fight at the White House with explosive-laden drones and snipers, officials told Just the News on Tuesday.

At least five people have been arrested, and agents are working to identify as many as 18 others who appeared to be involved in the planning on encrypted chats communicating with the alleged plotters, officials said.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrests, first reported by Fox News, in a statement obtained by Just the News.

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” Patel said.

“While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens - particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight,” he added.

A dozen FBI offices around the country were involved in the investigation, and one of the first arrests occurred in Cincinnati, officials said.

Officials said they believed the goal of the plot was to attack the site of the fight on the White House South Lawn with one or more explosive-laden drones, causing panicked fans to flee into areas where snipers would then shoot them.

The UFC event at the White House has reportedly drawn over 130 million viewers, surpassing Super Bowl viewership numbers. According to UFC President Dana White, the event was expected to draw "Super Bowl numbers,"' and it seems those expectations were met. The event's viewership peaked at numbers similar to those of the Super Bowl, which drew an estimated 125.6 million viewers in 2026 and 127.7 million viewers in 2025.

The UFC event's massive viewership numbers are impressive, especially considering it was streamed exclusively on Paramount+ and faced stiff competition from the 2026 World Cup.
