No matter what you may be hearing or seeing online, the fact that new construction has ramped up lately isn’t cause for alarm. Here’s why.
Nationally, builders aren’t overbuilding – they're just catching up.
Coming out of the housing crash, builders pulled production way back, and that led to a long period of underbuilding. You can see that in this data.
So, even though we’re building more homes right now than we have in the last few years, there’s still a significant gap to make up after not building enough homes for over a decade.
But like anything else in housing, this varies by area. Some places will have more newly built homes, and others will have fewer.

Overpricing your house could cost you more than you think.
Data shows the longer a house sits, the less it sells for. And here’s why. If a house is priced at or just below market value, it typically sells quickly. But if a house is priced too high, it lingers.
As time wears on, it's more likely you’ll have to accept a lower offer, or you’ll need to make a price cut to draw buyers back in. And that’s not the experience you want.
Want to make sure your home sells quickly and for the best price? Let’s talk. With an agent’s expertise on your side, it’s easy to price it right.

Are you feeling frustrated by the lack of options in your price range? Here’s some advice. Check out townhomes.
Because they’re usually smaller, they can be more affordable, too. And there are more hitting the market than we’ve seen in years. That gives you more options, potentially in your price point.
So, let’s chat if you want to see if this type of home would make sense for you and your lifestyle.
In the meantime, let me know: what matters most to you? Space, location, or price? Drop your answer in the comments below.

Recession talk is heating up – but what does that mean for housing? Here’s what historical data tells us.
If a recession happens, many people assume home prices will crash like they did in 2008. But history tells a different story.
In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually went up. That means 2008 was the exception, not the rule.
During recessions, prices usually follow whatever path they’re already on. And, right now, prices are still rising nationally.
How does knowing home prices haven’t typically dropped in past recessions change the way you think about buying or selling?

On average, homes are staying on the market about a week longer than they did at this time last year. And in real estate, those few extra days can be game-changing. More time means more space to list your home, find your next one, and make smart decisions without the rush.
And yes, well-priced homes are still selling quickly. The market’s cooling just enough to be the sweet spot you’ve been waiting for: less chaos, more control, and solid demand.

Do you know how much the market has changed since this time last year? The answer may surprise you.
Data shows that nationally, inventory has grown, price growth is moderating, and homes are taking a bit longer to sell. And overall, that means more options for you and potentially less rush when you buy. And that’s a welcome change.
Are you curious how our area compares? DM me. I’ll walk you through it and what it all means for you.

With more homes for sale, some sellers are coming around to the idea of concessions.
From adjusting the price to helping with closing costs, throwing in a home warranty or appliances, even giving you credit so you can make repairs, sellers may be more willing to compromise.
But making sure you know how to ask and what to ask for is key. That's why it’s important to have the right agent by your side.
Which concession would make the biggest difference for you? Let me know, and we’ll factor that into your home search.
