BUYERS ARE GETTING SOMETHING THEY COULDN'T GET IN 2021: LEVERAGE.

One number from August really caught our attention:

63.1% of Greater Metro Denver single-family home sales included concessions.

That can mean sellers contributing toward closing costs, helping with repairs, or offering other financial incentives to get the deal across the finish line.

And concessions aren't limited to one price point.

In the $400K–$599K range, 74% of closed sales included concessions.

For buyers, this is an important reminder that the interest rate is only one part of the equation.

A higher rate doesn't automatically mean a bad deal.

The purchase price, seller concessions, inspection negotiations, repairs, and overall terms can all change the math.

Don't just ask, “What's the rate?”

Ask, “What kind of deal can I negotiate?”

That's where having someone who understands the market can make a big difference.

3% SOUNDS NORMAL. HISTORY SAYS OTHERWISE. 🏡

If you’ve been waiting for mortgage rates to get back to 3%, this is worth knowing.

Before COVID, the lowest widely documented 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 3.31% in November 2012. Even in 2019, the average was around 3.9%.

The 2%–3% rates we saw in 2020 and 2021 were extraordinary. They were not the historical norm.

That doesn’t mean you should rush out and buy a home today. It means it’s worth looking at the whole picture instead of waiting for one number to return.

Price. Monthly payment. Inventory. Negotiating power. Seller concessions. Your own timeline.

The better question might not be, “When will rates go back to 3%?”

It might be, “Does buying make sense for me at today’s numbers?”

That answer is different for everyone, and that’s exactly where a good conversation with your Realtor can help.

BUYING A HOME IN 2021 VS. 2026 🏡

What a difference five years can make.

In 2021, buyers were competing against multiple offers, bidding over asking, sometimes offering $100,000+ over the list price, covering appraisal gaps, waiving inspection requests, and making decisions in a matter of hours because waiting until the weekend could mean losing the house.

Fast forward to 2026.

Buyers have more time. More negotiating power. More opportunities to ask questions, complete inspections, request repairs, and negotiate concessions.

Is the interest rate harder? Absolutely.

But there are other parts of today's market that can work in a buyer's favor.

The market isn't 2021 anymore. And that means the way you approach buying a home shouldn't be either.

Different market. Different strategy.

Looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy the fall colors around Lakewood? 🍂

We took a walk through Bear Creek Greenbelt Park and stopped by the Historic Stone House along the Bear Creek and Stone House Loop. It’s such a lovely place to slow down, enjoy the changing leaves, and take in a little bit of Colorado’s fall beauty.

Sometimes, the best way to spend a fall day is simply getting outside and exploring somewhere close to home. 🌳

Save this spot for your next fall walk, and tag someone you’d love to bring along!

Seeing 7% mortgage rates can definitely make buying a home feel intimidating. But there’s more to the story than the rate alone.

Higher rates can also mean less competition, more room to negotiate, and opportunities that may not exist in a hotter market.

That doesn’t mean buying is automatically the right move. Your finances, goals, timeline, and the home itself all matter.

The best way to know if buying makes sense for you is to look at the whole picture, not just one number.

If you’re curious what your options could look like, let’s grab a coffee and talk it through. ☕🏡

Are mortgage rates actually “high”?

If you remember buying or refinancing during the 2–3% era, today's rates can feel shocking.

But zoom out and the picture looks a little different.

The 2–4% rates we saw in the 2010s and especially 2020–2021 were historically unusual. Over the past 40 years, mortgage rates have been much higher at many points.

That doesn't mean a 7% rate feels affordable for everyone. It doesn't. Your monthly payment still matters, and today's affordability challenges are very real.

But it does mean that waiting for rates to return to 3% may not be the best strategy for everyone.

The market is about more than interest rates. Price, inventory, competition, and negotiating power all matter too.

If you're thinking about buying, let's look at the numbers for your situation instead of waiting for the “perfect” rate.

Rates referenced are Freddie Mac weekly national averages for 30-year fixed conventional loans. Your actual rate will depend on factors including credit, down payment, loan type, and lender.

A few moments from Rock the Block last weekend! 🎸

It was such a fun day and a great reminder of how special it is to be part of a community that comes together, supports local events, and makes time to connect with one another.

We had a great time and are already looking forward to next year!

Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a great event. ❤️

Looking for something fun to do with the kids this fall? 🌽

We took the kids to Miller Farms a couple weeks ago and had such a blast! You take a hay ride out to the fields, pick your own veggies, and get to spend the day outside doing something a little different.

It was one of those simple family outings that turned into a really fun memory. ❤️

If you’re looking for a local activity to add to your fall list, this one is worth checking out!
