If you tried to buy a home a few years ago, you probably still remember the frenzy.

08/20/2025

In June, roughly 15% of pending sales didn’t make it to closing.

Why? The reasons are going to vary. But a recent survey of agents shows a lot of the time it’s because buyers are quick to walk if the home inspection uncovers a big issue.

The good news is there’s a simple way for sellers to get ahead of that – and that’s a pre-listing inspection.

That’s an inspection you get for yourself before you list, so you can find and fix any issues before they become deal breakers for buyers.

If you're thinking about selling soon, let’s talk strategy. Because depending on your house and our market, it may make sense to spend a few hundred dollars now to spare you the headaches.

Everyone’s waiting for rates to fall. And according to NAR, the magic number they're hoping for is 6%. But is that number on the horizon?

Most forecasts say rates will stay in the mid-to-low sixes through the end of next year. But right after the latest weaker than expected jobs report, rates hit their lowest point so far this year (6.55%). And that sparked hope they’re on their way down.

Ultimately, what happens from here all depends on the next round of economic reports. As of right now, experts agree a bit drop isn’t expected, but small changes are possible. Here’s what to watch.

When rates do fall to 6%, it could unlock 5.5 million more buyers. So waiting would mean dealing with a lot more competition. And less negotiating power.

If you’re hoping to buy and you’re able to make the numbers work...
