Think big investors are snapping up all the homes? The data says otherwise.

The largest institutional investors are now selling more homes than they're buying – and the gap is growing every quarter.

That means those homes are going back on the market for regular buyers. And since big investors tend to own lower-priced homes, a lot of them are right in the range first-time buyers want.

Less competition. More options for you.

DM me and I'll show you what's hitting the market in our area.

If you've been putting your home search on hold because you're convinced mortgage rates will be much lower soon, it may be worth taking another look at that strategy.

71% of homeowners say their insurance costs have gone up over the past few years.

And if you're buying a home, that's worth knowing – but it shouldn't scare you away from your plans.

Yes, affordability is still tight. But you can't control every cost that comes with buying a home. You can only control how prepared you are.

And in a market like this, one of the smartest things you can do is get an insurance quote before you make an offer. It'll give you a clearer picture of what your monthly housing costs will look like, help you build a more realistic budget, and keep you from being surprised after closing.

Buying a home is a big decision. The more you know before you buy, the more confident you'll feel when it's time to make your move.

If you're a homeowner getting ready to move, one question usually comes first: should you buy your next home before you sell, or sell your current house before you start looking?

Putting off selling because it feels like the market’s at a standstill and no one’s buying right now?

Sure, the pace has cooled in some areas recently. But houses are still selling all the time. In fact, more than 4 million will sell this year.

Do a little math, and that works out to over 11k sold every day, almost 470 an hour, and about eight every minute.

So, don’t count your house out. Another home just sold as you were reading this – let’s make the next one yours.

Did home prices just hit a turning point?

Even though all the headlines out there make it sound like prices are crashing, here’s what the data really says.

Yes, price growth cooled from around 7% in mid-2024 to closer to 3% today. But that’s not a crash. It’s just a slowdown.

And if you look at the right side of this graph, it seems like price growth may have hit its low point and started to turn.

Now, two months of data doesn’t necessarily make a trend. But a few things back this up.

Compared to earlier this year, fewer markets are seeing price declines right now. And, forecasts call for price growth to pick up a bit before end of year.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I want you to have breaking info like this as soon as I have it – especially when it looks like something is changing.

DM me "PRICES" and I'll show you exactly what home prices are doing in our local market and what that means...
