Still deciding whether to buy your first home now or wait? Here’s something you’ll want to consider.

Buyers who get into their first home around age 30 build about $119,000 more in net worth by age 50 compared to those who wait until their 40s.

So, every year you spend saving for the “right” moment could quietly chip away at your future wealth.

That doesn’t mean buy before you’re ready. But it does mean, if you’re ready and able to buy now, it may be a better strategy than waiting.

DM me and let’s map out what timeline fits your situation and our market. You might find that a head start matters more than waiting to save the “perfect” down payment.

Tempted to price your house high just to see what happens? You should know, overpriced homes generally don’t sell right away, they sit. And that delay will cost you.

The longer a house is on the market without any offers, typically the lower the eventual sale price.

So, how do you know that right number to list at? You lean on a pro.

The best list price depends on your neighborhood, and what buyers are actually paying right now. That’s where I can help.

DM me and let’s talk about a realistic strategy that’ll get your house sold for as much as possible (and as quickly as possible). Because overpricing may actually leave money on the table.

Now might be a smart time to look at newly built homes.

Builders are motivated to keep their inventory moving, so they’re offering incentives like mortgage rate buydowns and closing cost help to draw in buyers.

It also means they may be more flexible on price. In fact, the median price for newly built homes just hit a five-year low for this exact reason.

Builder perks and lower prices? That’s a combo worth paying attention to.

DM me to talk through what’s available in our area and which builders are offering the best incentives today.

You’ve probably heard that mortgage debt in America just hit an all-time high. And that’s true.
But here’s what the headline leaves out.

Equity is also near an all-time high. And at $34.1 trillion, it’s more than double the $14.4 trillion in debt.

That’s a good thing. It means most homeowners own far more than they owe. So, they have a real financial cushion right now.

That’s something homeowners didn’t have during the crash of 2008. Back then, people owed more than their homes were worth. Today, it’s just the opposite.

Homeowners are in a much better position, and the housing market is on stronger footing than the headlines suggest.

Nearly 40% of potential sellers say they’re planning to offer concessions this year – up from 30% in 2025.

That increase means you could see more flexibility on things like sellers covering your closing costs, adjusting the price, or making repairs.

But what’s worth asking for and what’s a long shot will vary depending on where you’re looking. That’s where I can help.

DM me and let’s talk about what concessions make sense in our market. Because, for buyers, the right ask could save you thousands.

Foreclosures are up, but don’t panic.

Yes, filings have risen over the past year. But zoom out and look at the full picture.

We’re still below historical norms – and nowhere near levels seen around 2008.
This isn’t a crash. It’s the market returning to normal after foreclosures were artificially low during the pandemic.

And here’s something else worth knowing. These are filings. Not all of them will actually turn into completed foreclosures.

If you’ve been hearing a lot about this lately and want to make sense of what it means, drop a comment or send me a DM. Happy to talk it through.
