Mortgage rates dipped slightly to around 6.57% at the beginning of July, and buyers noticed almost immediately. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, purchase mortgage applications increased 1% even though refinancing activity declined. That tells us many buyers are still actively watching the market and are ready to move as soon as affordability improves, even by a small amount.

Here in the Richmond metro, inventory remains relatively limited in many price ranges. That means even small improvements in mortgage rates can bring additional buyers off the sidelines and increase competition for well-priced homes. If rates continue to ease, we could see more multiple-offer situations, particularly for move-in-ready homes in desirable areas.

Mortgage applications increased 0.04 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending June 26, 2026.

Met this buyer at one of my open houses after he'd had a couple of frustrating experiences with other agents.

After talking through what was really important to him, I convinced him to open up his search to a few areas he hadn't seriously considered. That's where we found the one.

Not only is it much closer to work than where he was originally looking, but it also has the perfect workshop to finally finish restoring his boat.

Congratulations! I can't wait to see that boat when it's done.

Foreclosure filings hit 45,921 in March. That’s 28% above last year and the highest first-quarter pace in six years. Bank repossessions jumped 45% year over year. The real trigger is FHA. 11.6% of FHA borrowers were delinquent in March, and the “partial claim” subsidy that kept families afloat just got rewritten. Borrowers can only tap relief once every two years now, and they have to make three on-time payments first.

Analysts estimate up to 250,000 distressed sales over the next 12 to 18 months. This isn’t 2008. The equity picture is different. But it’s enough volume to reshape inventory unevenly, and that’s the part to watch.

Low-maintenance living in Woodlake with all the extras 🌿

This home was fully renovated in October 2022 with a brand-new kitchen, updated baths, new flooring, lighting, and appliances. Major systems are already taken care of, and features like gutter guards and an irrigation system make everyday living easy.

What really sets this one apart is the lifestyle:
• Access to Swift Creek Reservoir
• Miles of scenic walking and biking trails
• Indoor and outdoor pools
• Tennis courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas
• Boathouse, amphitheater, and pavilion

Perfect for anyone looking for single-level living without giving up amenities.

Message me if you’d like to take a closer look or schedule a private showing.

Real estate reminder… it’s never boring.

I met this couple and their mom at one of my open houses. My listing wasn’t the right fit, too many stairs, so I suggested a condo at 5100 Monument Ave that felt much more aligned. We went right after the open house.

She loved the no-stairs setup, and we moved forward. Everything went smooth for a while until...

the scheduled final walkthrough. We found the seller in the shower… and the unit had just been hotboxed in a non-smoking building 🚭

Even with a few unexpected moments along the way, we made it to the finish line.

Helping clients find the right home is always worth it.
