One‑person households are rising, from 27.8% in 2014 to 28.9% in 2024—an increase of 5.7 million people. Some cities saw jumps of 4–10 points, boosting housing demand even without population growth.

If you're torn between selling and renting, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons first. For some homeowners, the hassle (and the expense) of renting may not be worth it.

When your house sits on the market longer than expected, it can get frustrating fast.

You’ve probably seen influencers online saying home prices are about to crash. But don’t believe everything you hear.

This is what housing market experts are saying.

Nationally, home prices are expected to keep rising over the next five years. Not at the breakneck pace we saw a few years back, but steadily.

So, where’s the confusion coming from? Some markets are seeing small price declines right now – and that’s what’s getting amplified online. But it’s not the full picture.

When you average price trends across the entire country together, prices are going up, not down. And this isn’t a crash.

If you want clarity on what’s real (and what’s just noise), let’s talk.

Ask yourself this: if your perfect home popped up tomorrow, would you be ready to make a move?

If the answer is no and you want to buy, it may be time to get pre-approved. You don’t feel behind before your search even officially kicks off.

Be honest. Have you started looking at homes online yet? If you have, it’s already time to get pre-approved.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a home, you’ve probably heard: “Investors are buying everything.” But take a look at this.

Most of the biggest investors in the country are actually selling more homes than they’re buying right now.

That means they’re not dominating the market the way it might feel, and that could open up more opportunities for you.

If you want to understand what’s really going on in today’s market, let’s talk it through.

Getting your house on the market in mid-April may give you an extra edge, but the bigger opportunity is the Spring season as a whole. The real question is:

Do you know what you need to do before you can list?

Because it’s officially go-time for any seller planning a Spring move.

If you want your house to hit the market this week (or even this season), let’s talk about what it’ll take to get it ready.

While the Spring season consistently offers up some of the best conditions for home sellers, Realtor.com says there’s one window where the stars really seem to align year after year. And it’s coming up fast.

If you pulled your house off the market last year, you weren’t the only one. A record number of people made that decision.

But roughly 40% of those sellers have already re-listed this year. And that number is growing every day.

If you’ve been wondering whether you should give it another shot, take this as your sign to jump back in. The Spring is historically a great time to sell.

I can walk you through what’s changed – and why I’m confident things will be different this time.

Thinking about buying right now? The best advice is to accept that you can’t control where rates are going to go from here.

What you can do is work with a trusted lender and take steps that’ll help you get the best rate possible.

So, if you want to move today, let's make it happen. We just need to control the controllables and focus where it counts.

Mortgage rates have been volatile lately. And if you’re thinking about buying a home, that can make it harder to plan.
