What a Fed Rate Cut Could Mean for Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates likely won’t drop sharply overnight, and they won’t mirror the Fed’s moves one-for-one. But if the Fed begins a rate-cutting cycle, and markets continue to expect it, mortgage rates could trend lower later this year and into 2026.

If you’ve been waiting and watching the housing market, now’s the time to talk strategy. Even small changes in rates can make a meaningful difference in affordability, and understanding what’s ahead helps you make the best decision for your situation.

Waiting for the perfect buyer to fall in love with your house? In today’s market, that’s usually not what’s holding things up. And here’s why.

12/09/2025

If your listing isn’t getting traction, here's what you need to realize.

Homes are sitting longer today. And one of the reasons why? Overpricing like it’s 2021 again.

Unlike a normal market where list prices keep rising, they’ve actually been flat for over 3 years. And that’s a change worth paying attention to.

List prices have leveled off because buyers are being more selective as inventory has grown over the past few years. There are more homes on the market, and sellers need to take note.

So, if your home isn’t getting showings or offers, take it as a sign to check in with your agent. A small price adjustment could be the move that gets buyers through the door.

Because in a market like this you can’t just wait it out and...

About half of homes are selling for under their asking price right now.

While that feels very different from the past few years, it’s actually a return to what’s considered normal for the market.

And the sellers who succeed today are the ones who recognize this shift. They price smart from day one, make their home stand out, and stay flexible when buyers ask for give-and-take.

You need to plan for the market we’re in, not the one we saw a few years back. And I can help.

What Mortgage Delinquencies Tell Us About the Future of Foreclosures

If your house isn’t getting offers you’re comfortable with, you may be thinking: maybe I’ll just rent it instead.

And the truth is, a growing number of homeowners are making that choice right now. They’re called “accidental landlords.”

But here’s the thing you need to remember before you go that route, too. There’s probably a reason renting your home wasn’t the original plan.

Because renting often isn’t as easy as it sounds. Not every house makes a good rental. Plus, it comes with a lot more responsibility (and risk) than most people expect, like extra expenses, repairs, and the stress of being on call 24/7.

Make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons before you decide what to do. For some homeowners, it may not be worth it.
