Here’s what we’re seeing in Polk County right now 👇

The average sale price for Q1 2026 was $488,746, with prices increasing each month—ending the quarter over $507K in March.

This upward trend shows momentum building as we head into the spring market.

This week the national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 5.99% — the lowest we’ve seen in years.

Rates vary by lender and scenario, but this is still a meaningful shift.

Here’s something I often show clients:

Even a 1% difference in interest rate can increase buying power by about 10%.

Here’s what that looks like:

If someone is comfortable paying about $2,991/month (principal & interest):

At 6.99%, that supports roughly a $450,000 loan.

At 5.99%, that same payment supports about a $500,000 loan.

That’s around $50,000 more buying power.

If the last time you ran the numbers was when rates were in the high 6% range, it might be worth revisiting.

Another way to look at it:

On a $450,000 loan, the difference between 6.99% and 5.99% is about $295 per month.

That’s real money.

Rates don’t have to drop dramatically to change what’s possible. Even small shifts matter.

If you’re curious what this could mean for your situation here in the Willamette Valley, I’m happy to run the numbers with you.

One thing I’ve done consistently throughout my career: handwritten notes.

No automation. No agenda. Just appreciation and connection.

Real estate is about people, trust, and long-term relationships — and that part of the business will never change, no matter what the market is doing.

Lighting matters more than people expect. A bright, well-lit space often feels cleaner, more open, and more welcoming.

When I meet with a new client, I often ask this question:
“What are the three most important things you’re looking for in a Realtor?”

Common answers I hear:
• Honesty — someone who will tell the truth, even when it’s hard
• Clear, reliable communication
• Strong local market knowledge

At the core of my business are values that guide how I show up for my clients every day: honesty, integrity, hard work, loyalty, and clear communication.

Every client and every transaction is different, but these values stay the same. They’re the foundation behind everything I do — the strategy, the details, and the work that happens behind the scenes.

If you’re looking for a Realtor who leads with integrity, works hard for you, and communicates clearly throughout the process, I’d love to help.

Sometimes it really is the simple things that matter most.

It’s been a busy stretch—4 closings in the past 7.5 weeks! 🏡💥

Each of these homes represents a different story, a new chapter, and a whole lot of trust placed in me to help guide the process. I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been focused on doing the work—and I’m so thankful for the people I’ve had the chance to work with recently. 💖

Here’s a little peek at what’s been happening behind the scenes. 👇
