The best time to buy a home this year is here.

Realtor.com says September 27–October 3 is expected to bring the best combination of buyer-friendly conditions in 2026.

We’re talking about more homes to choose from, better pricing, less competition, and more time to decide. And maybe that’s enough to offset some of the pressure today’s higher rates are putting on your budget.

Want to find out? Let’s have a quick conversation about what’s expected in our market and what’s available in your price point. Just DM me to get started.

And just so you know, the window doesn’t close after that one week. It’s open all October long.

🏡 BUYERS, CIRCLE SEPTEMBER 27 THROUGH OCTOBER 3 ON YOUR CALENDAR.

Realtor.com projects it to be the BEST WEEK TO BUY nationally in 2026.

And the numbers behind it are interesting.

Historically, this part of the year can bring buyers a combination of:

🏡 More inventory

👥 Less competition

💰 Prices below their seasonal peak

⏰ More time to make decisions

🤝 More potential negotiating room

But here's where I want to pump the brakes a little...

This is NATIONAL data.

There isn't some magical switch that flips on September 27 and suddenly every house becomes a deal. 😂

Real estate is LOCAL.

What's happening in Spanaway may be different from Tacoma, Puyallup, Lakewood, Gig Harbor, or another part of the South Sound.

And your personal best time to buy depends on YOUR finances, YOUR payment comfort, YOUR goals, and what's happening in the specific market where you want to live.

Based on what I'm seeing, I'm paying attention to the entire month of OCTOBER.

If you're serious about buying in 2026, NOW is when we should be preparing.

Let's get your financing squared away.

Let's establish your comfortable payment.

Let's identify your target areas.

Then when the right opportunity shows up, we're ready to MOVE.

Don't rush because somebody called it the best week.

Be prepared so you can take advantage when YOUR best opportunity appears.

Mortgage rates have been climbing again, and if you're hoping to buy, that can feel discouraging.

Here’s what you have to remember.

You can't control where rates go. But you can control a few things that shape the rate you actually get: your credit score, the type and term of loan you choose, and whether you buy a newly built home, where builders are often buying down rates to bring buyers in.

Focus there, and you put yourself in a stronger spot without waiting on the market.

Want to talk it through? A trusted lender can help with the numbers, and we can find the home to match. Let's connect.

🏡🏡 JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR THE PAYMENT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL ENJOY PAYING IT.

That's what we need to talk about when we discuss PAYMENT SHOCK.

Imagine your current housing expense is $1,800 a month.

You get pre-approved and discover the house you want could put your monthly housing payment around $2,800.

Your lender may say you qualify.

Cool.

But I have another question:

How does YOUR LIFE feel with an extra $1,000 leaving your account every month?

One of my favorite ways to prepare is simple:

Practice the payment BEFORE you buy.

Take the difference between your current housing expense and your estimated future payment and start putting it into savings each month.

If you can comfortably do that for several months, you're getting a much better idea of how the new payment may fit into your lifestyle.

Plus, you're stacking additional money for reserves, moving expenses, furniture, maintenance, repairs, or whatever else comes with the house.

And if practicing that payment makes life miserable?

GOOD INFORMATION.

Maybe we adjust the price range.

Maybe we look at a different area.

Maybe we explore financing options.

Maybe we give you more time to save.

Getting you approved for the biggest number possible isn't my goal.

Helping you buy a home while still having a LIFE is.

Let's build your homebuying strategy around YOUR comfort level, not just the maximum number on a pre-approval.

Want to buy a house this year, but not sure if the timing’s right? Seasonally, it may actually be a better time to buy than you expect.

Congrats to my buyers!! A deserving family will soon make their way towards closing on this newly renovated home in a wonderful neighborhood that I spent a decade living in!!

These clients were on a search for a home that met specific mobility needs and they will be making additonal accomodations to ensure that they are met.

Even if your needs feel greater than the norm, all it takes is desire and imagination. Anything can become what you need it to be, as long as you can see the vision.

If youre ready to see a better tomorrow, hit me up, and let's "Change Your Narrative" together!!!

Selling this fall? Starting strong matters even more this time of year.

In the fall, buyer activity typically starts to slow while the number of homes for sale climbs. That means fewer buyers may be looking at more options – so you want your house to stand out from day one.

Here’s the cheat sheet for how to make that happen.

Price it for today’s buyers. Not what your neighbor sold for a few years back.

Make your house hard to pass up. Tackle essential repairs and spend time on your curb appeal.

Stay flexible when offers come in. This is not the season to play hardball.

And be ready to adjust when needed. If you keep getting the same feedback from buyers, take it to heart.

If you want to sell before the end of the year, let’s...
